Maybe you were sarcastic but...
Reasons to have other standards exist because they are better than USB-C. I’ve got a lightning port on my current phone, while my old phone was USB-C, as well as my current laptop and tablet both USB-C. I have to say, the lightning feels significantly more secure.
Also, we have a standard for wireless charging. Qi has been around for years. Old Nexus used to have it. New iPhones do have it. IKEA even sells cheap furniture with chargers built in.
