Why is adaptor needed

I have a Sony Mini Hi-Fi MHC EC909ip system with docking station for iPods and iPhones and it states to I needed an adaptor despite the iPhone plugging into the docking station and working fine. I asked Sony why adaptor needed and they said if it works, I "probably" don't need one. But from reading these reviews, seems that is not the case. Can somebody please explain why an adaptor is needed?

What docking adapter do I need for an iPhone 3GS to dock into a Bose SoundDock Series II to ensure the Bose connector does not break?

The Bose SoundDock Series II supports the iPhone and uses Apple's Universal Dock system, however:

1. When inserting the iPhone, it is difficult to align the phone into the connector
2. The iPhone wobbles forward and back when selecting new songs while in the dock (causing stress on the connector.)

Is there an adapter from Apple which eliminates these problems?
