If you’re savvy enough to buy a Fairphone you likely have a gajillion USB-C cables and adapters laying around. I appreciate them not generating more waste.
When I got my FP3, I needed a new USBC cable as I was upgrading from a Galaxy S5. To be honest, my (now broken) Galaxy S5 still has its original charger in the box, since I reused my S4 charger for it.
Nowadays though it should be pretty common for people jumping to an FP or other USBC device to at least have an existing USBC cable kicking around I think
You can order one with the phone, I think. I don’t see it as a missing part, but rather one that is not automatically billed whether or not I need one.
We are long past the days of proprietary charging ports on phones, my guy. You can use any charger that came with any phone you’ve owned in the past like 10 years.
They don’t even send a charger anymore…

if you buy a fairphone maybe you do not buy new devices every year

How is that bad? Go to your drawer and use one of the dozens you’ll have accumulated over the years
only micro usb and very slow charging bricks in there

You don’t accumulate that many if you don’t buy phones every year or two, and then as mentioned, over more time your charger needs could’ve changed.
The charger shouldn’t be only thing that’s built to last.
But unfortunately its very common for people to change phones often
