> lightning instead of USB-C

An FYI, Lightning (released 2012) predates USB-C (1.0 specs published 2014) by a couple years. I'm unclear on how Apple was able to choose Lightning instead of USB-C given that timeline.

They were on the working group, they could have done a USB-C like connector. But I bet they wanted USB-C to basically be lightning and lost.
