I hope that after they’ll be forced to use USB-C port there will be people who convert them back to lightning.

That got downvoted fast! A price one pays in modern society for having an opinion different from that of a crowd.

Hacker News group-think is strong these days. Instead of bothering to stop and post a counter-reply, many just downvote like it's Reddit, and move on.

I've been a few times recently, whereas in the past my counter opinions would have kicked off interesting debate.

You can't seriously expect people not to downvote any support of expensive locked down standards, can you?

Generalising is also expensive.
