Cheaper and simpler.... I doubt that very much.
"Cheapness" comes from being able to produce huge numbers of identical products using psudo-universal interfaces. There are still plenty of Thinkpad specific accessories available (even though the one you desire is not) and they are not "cheap" compared to more generic solutions which can be used with any computer...... even, gasp, Apples!
Cheers,
