The idea that Apple would tell a random Polish retailer the price of AirPower months in advance is laughable; the fact that MacRumors is running with it is outrageous.

No other company makes a product comparable to AirPower, so Apple isn’t “late to the game.” And I imagine it didn’t ship with the iPhone 8/X because it isn’t ready yet.

That is modern Apple. Announce, wait, ship. With the wireless charging Apple is "late to the game" so there was no competitive advantage in announcing so far in advance of shipping. It was likely the smart thing to do, some people may wait to buy the Apple Airpower mat, instead of the competitor's product.
I do wonder why Apple couldn't ship at the same time as the iPhone 8 or X? The products that take advantage of it.
