Apple played into the greenwashing since a long time. For example removing charger for "climate", "ecology", while changing the cable port from a usb A (the rectangle one you plug onto the charger) to a usb C when first removing the charger from the box (thanks for bringing this s* to android too).

Removing the charger from the box does have an environmental benefit. It's less plastic and manufacturing, and makes the packaging smaller meaning they can ship more products causing fewer transportation emissions.

That it also saves them money is just a massive boon to them.
