But that was a standard open to all and everyone understood it was the future, even in 1998. Lightning isn't any of that.

Standardized, yes. But it was not at all clear that it would become a dominant force. Far from all standards do.

Many think it was the iMac that made it into the success it has become.

Lightning isn't the future, but some sort of wireless is.

Lightning is just a stop-gap.
