    You can easily install a different OS on your computer. You can’t just start using a different type of charger for a device. Apples and oranges.

      You can choose to use an adapter. You can choose to buy a non-apple product. So yes, you can use whatever charger you want.

        If there are 4-5 different types of plug that people use, let’s say I need to charge my phone and want to borrow a charger from someone. I have to carry around 4-5 different adapters for whatever a willing person to help me might have. I don’t even have a single adapter because one is too much to carry around at all times. Thank God USB and power outlets are standard, otherwise I would need to have like 15 adapters at all times.
