Such things should not be allowed to exist.

No, there's a good reason for them to exist, but they should be marked as such.

What's the reason? A slightly cheaper cable where data isn't needed?

You finally described a reason for these otherwise frustrating cables to exist! Though I like the other suggested method better, a charge-only adapter that you apply to the end of a full featured cable.
