Why Micro USB C cable on charger?

[Bikemonster]

Has anyone wondered why the charger for the Mavic Air has a dedicated Micro USB C output cable (built in) that needs to have the Micro USB adapter installed to charge the RC through the Micro USB port. There is only one USB C port and that’s on the Mavic Air itself itself for downloads and uploads but NOT charging. Am I correct in that the port on the aircraft cannot be used to charge the battery?
What am I missing here. Are they going to use this charger, or have they used this charger for another aircraft system?
Seems, the charger should have come with a regular micro USB cable attached.

They are saving money by providing only USB C cable with Micro USB adapter instead of two separate cables.

It seems like they’d save more money by standardizing the plugs. Either all USB Cs or Micro USBs on both the aircraft and RC. Oh well.

Ehh ... why make it simple when you can make it complicated?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this not very important, and for that matter, not very interesting subject.
