Did you read the article? Of course not!
French law demands that manufacturers provide a hands-free accessory with smartphones due to concerns about the effect of electromagnetic waves on the brains.
RF Safety FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the safety of radiofrequency (RF) and microwave emissions from transmitters and facilities regulated by the FCC For further information contact the FCC's RF Safety Program at rfsafety@fcc.gov or 1-888-225-5322 Index (click on topic below)
Does RF Radiation Cause Cancer?
Learn about radiofrequency (RF) radiation, such as microwaves and radio waves, and if it might affect cancer risk.
Perhaps it would be wise the French to reconsider the law and rewrite it to say that all handsets must have the ABILITY to be connected to a hands-free device. That way the manufacturers don’t have to include an unnecessary accessory, and French consumers have the ability to choose their hands free accessory of choice.
Why on Earth would Apple offer lightning battery cases for phones equipped for MagSafe?

Why? Is the law harming you in some way?
Whether they are in the same box or not is immaterial. I just don't want to have to buy them over and over again.
Interesting that one country says cell phone radiation is toxic but another says its not. So now it's all about belief.
Personally I have no issue with Apple discontinuing to provide the EarPods and power supply since by this time I have several of each from past purchases of iPhones and iPads. If they change the charging port and/or require some special charger in the future, then they should include the new charger and cable. But for now we should have enough older ones lying around not to need a new one with each iPhone. It is like the early years of mini and micro USB cables when most products shipped with one, but once they were saturated into most households companies stopped shipping them with their products because we didn't need another one. Also the same with HDMI cables when they were first introduced. Eventually most people had 3 or 4 spare HDMI cables lying around so it was no longer necessary to include one with each device.
As for the French, well they will always do things differently I guess...

Not aware of anyone buying an iPhone to "protect the environment." You made that up.
There is no country that has taken the position that cell phone radiation is completely harmless.
I believe EU requires the wall charger to USB compatible so that they are interchangeable between manufacturers. This was done to minimize landfill.
Don't say 'most' cause most iPhone users already have charging bricks to power their new iPhone 12, so you are the minority in needing to buying another power adapter.
I have mine from my iPhone 11 pro and chargers from previous phones that I've kept but I'll be using my 11 pro charger to charge my iPhone 12. Remember the new iPhone 12 uses Lightning cable to charge so nearly everyone and their grandmas have lightning cables. You don't need to use the USB-C cable that comes in the box if you already have a lightning cable.
This only really affects anyone who has NEVER used an iPhone or not used one since before the lightning cable was introduced.
I got the 12 pro in gold coming on friday and ill be of course replacing my iPhone 11 pro cable with the threaded one cause i prefer threaded cables.
No, that isn't "the rumor". That is idle speculation from people adding 1 + 1 and getting 5000. There are a myriad of unsolved and unsolvable problems that prevent this from happening anytime soon.
I think it's one of the countries that cares the most. Carbon emissions are low, public transportation is developed. Can not even be compared to the US..France doesn't care for the environment
I find it strange that they are mandatory included but using them is not mandatory.
Surely, if you believe the radiation is harmful, you would want people actually use the remedies...
