Most phones don't provide a power block anymore though, do they? I realize this is a new switch to a new type of charge cable, but that seems like the scam of the day that everyone is running.

Thankfully, you can get them for next to nothing if you don't mind waiting for them to be delivered.

And they already upsell power blocks hard. This is not new with USB-C.

Though, I laughed when my wife bought a new iPhone a few months ago and I discovered that the charger block they're selling is a USB-C block. They fought tooth and nail to keep it out of their phones, claiming it wasn't good enough, but slapped it on the other end of the lightning cable just fine.
