The military our forces trained to use those items to be used against the Taliban to protect the interests of the Afghan government. However, the ANA rolled over immediately because they were demoralized by the Doha agreement. After the Doha agreement, corruption increased, supply lines were cut by personnel starting to be even more out for themselves. We left that equipment there for them to fight the Taliban, but they didn't have the will to do it.
Trump's plan was never just to pack up and withdrawal overnight, and especially not leaving billions of dollars worth of guns, vehicles, night vision equipment, and whatever else for the Taliban to take.
Situations change and, anyone that's been paying close attention to Biden, knows that he doesn't have the mental capacity to make decisions on important situations.
The way Biden also left thousands of Americans stranded over there is also a disgrace.
