Considering I have a total of... zero Lightning cables and accessories, but a ton of standard USB-C? I would consider the 2019 iPhone line totally useless (but given by my lack of Lightning accessories, you can assume I use Android phones and thus consider all of the iPhones useless).
I've only ever seen one USB-C cable and the person who uses it finds it annoying (it's not even for an iphone but a raspberry-pi style device). I don't know why someone would have a "ton" of those cables, maybe two if they have a new iphone. Fast charge doesn't matter if you're able to actually let go of the phone and put it down, charging overnight should last all day.
I have now countered and balanced your data point, thus nullifying it.
List of personally-owned devices that have an USB Type C port, and how many such ports they have: - Desktop PC (1) - Lenovo X1 Tablet (1) - Monitor (Samsung C34H890) (1) - Port Replicator for laptop (2) - nVME SSD external enclosure (1) - Phone (Samsung Note 9) (1) - Samsung DEX (1)
Add 5 or 6 chargers to that, that's a lot of USB type C cables needed for that.
And you missed the point of the whole article: iPhones do NOT use USB type C, contrary to what you are implying. Or maybe you got confused, I don't know.
It is worth noting that Apple has many devices with USB-C.
My MacBook Pro has *only* USB-C. Newer Apple TVs (last two or three gens) have only USB-C (in addition to HDMI and power). The new iPad Pro has only USB-C.
Apple isn’t anti-USB-C. But their existing customers are mostly longtime customers who have lots of cables and chargers, and do not want to be forced to buy new stuff.

Most customers want to keep the same connector, because they already have chargers and cables, and sometimes even accessories, for it.
USB-C is better in the long run, but that doesn't make it better now.
