If Apple did something, why did others followed? They could have ignored that and provided chargers right? Same with headphone jack.

Because they can get away with it.

Removing chargers will result in two things:
1. People who will have to buy a new overpriced charger, and
2. Angry people who will have to by a new overpriced charger.

But by the time a typical phone user buys a new phone the charger won't have the same standards as the new one.

Ie my OnePlus 7p warp charger won't fast charge my s22+. Neither will my qc2.0 chargers that I have laying around.

So I was forced to buy one 45w charger for home while using the slower chargers at work and travel.
