Yes. Before you were born. Certainly. In the year you were born I was on the team that deployed the first electronic landing system for aircraft carriers on the USS Kittyhawk. I designed the shipboard component, and a co-worker and friend designed the airborne receiver.
Thee's no point in arguing with you, as your mind is made up. What is wrong with all of your analogies is that the "charger" for iPhones and iPads is not a charger at all. It is a 5 volt DC power source. The charger itself is inside the device. The internal charger regulates the charging current to the battery. For car and motorcycle batteries the charger is external. Thus, the external charger must regulate the charging current to prevent damage to the battery.
