Also, you always have to research which standards does your device and third-party cables/chargers support, which is honestly a pain in the butt.
Exactly my experience in both cases. I recently bought a JBL Flip speaker. It, too came without a USB charger, but it did include a cable. I, thinking "Oh it's just USB-PD," plugged the thing into an HP laptop charger, only to be met with a screaming warning in response.
Point being, it's not always as simple as "just buy a charger," especially with a camera, where it does consume considerable amounts of power (especially if you're charging it while you're using it), so you need to buy a charger that can keep up.
