I few years ago I felt the same, but what's happened is increasingly more and more devises are fitted with USB plugs for charging these days (Sat Nav, phones, Mp3, tablet, iPad/Pod, blah, blah...) - so you're going to have to use a cigarette to USB or DIN to USB adaptor whatever (or hard wire a USB socket). At present nearly all high power consuming equipment (heated kit mainly) come with either bare tails for hard wiring, SAE plugs (most USA designed kit, Optimate connector etc) or DIN plugs (most European gear), very little (if any) biker kit comes with cigarette lighter sockets.
However, I should point out that I also have all ends covered with an "Old School" fag lighter socket in the dry of my top case!
