Isn't the same true for USB-C?

Apple just blocks to lock you in their ecosystem.

Can I use a USB stick over lighting port? Last time I tried it was quite a hussle.

One needs an adaptor but hardly impossible.

It never occurred to me to do that but it's nice to have the option.

Or Apple provided a small, uni-oriented, high-speed interface when none existed. They were raked over the coals for dropping the 30 pin connector and promised to wait a long time before switching. Meanwhile USB-C was developed and the EU decided to interfere. What I wish is we stopped developing at parallel interfaces.
