Once USB became the standard their was no real reason to hold onto lightning other than it being proprietary and them wanting to hand hold their users

Well if the lockout chip rumors are true, they've basically just made Lighting 2, Electric Boogaloo that just happens to be shaped like USB-C but is incompatible with all non-Apple approved connectors.
