"Landfill" Wouldn't it be best if you donate a cable or something if its in a good enough condition?

Better than just tossing it out, especially if some people don't upgrade every single release and would still like a cable.

Not from Apple's point of view. They want you to buy their latest and greatest, not some used device. They just tolerate that market to push adoption.
