No.  I'm guessing that people may be called upon to pack up their gear
and work in a place they didn't expect to be working.  Or that they may
need to improvise solutions in a hurry with whatever they've got handy.
So having a bag full of chargers and cables and adapters and everything
else just seems like good/easy/cheap preparation.  (I think a lot of us
already have such a bag, it's just that entropy sets in and the way it
was once packed it probably not the way it's packed today.)

I'm not really "expecting" anything other than suboptimal conditions.
