IDK about everyone else but I definitely did need the supplied cable when I bought my Libra 2 - it's my first USB-C peripheral. I'm guessing that will eventually change when USB-C becomes the standard in my country, but I don't know when or if that will happen.

Even if it weren't my first one, when I give an old Kobo away I give away the cable with it. So there's no surplus here.

I do generally expect that a power cable for any electrical item I buy will be supplied, since the item won't work without it. Maybe that makes me spoiled or whatever, but if I got my new toaster delivered then had to go to the store to buy a separate power cable for it I'd be a bit grumpy.
