iPads and MacBooks use USB-C now, so even if you are a 100% Apple person you will need to carry two chargers/cables.
Not to mention that for those of us who prefer wired headphones (for any of a hundred reasons), you can use the same USB-C wired headphones with your Mac and any Android phone, but you'll need a dongle if you use a Mac and an iPhone.
The user experience resulting from keeping the iPhone line on Lightning while the Mac and iPad line move to USB-C is downright bad, and getting worse by the day.

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.

It gets even worse if you need multiple dongles.
