You are right: I would like to use the copper wire instead.

This is just a workaround for a licensing limitation: Apple is just milking money where it shouldn’t.

I like the fact that this Chinese workaround:

a) Makes clear by its design how the product works.
b) Is cheaper for the user.
c) It hides the complexity of what is doing

Lately, the chances of that occurring are few and far between.
