The lightning and this power connecter has the huge safety benefit of being solid without a hole which can be squeezed or get dust grains, or metal scraping inside.
USB-C are actually fragile and potientially dangerous for delivering power, if a tiny piece of conductive material gets stuck inside, and we know that many will try to pry out dust using a metal clip...
USB-C protocol is also pretty compliated, I already have some random USB-C cables that seems to only pass power, and some that may pass data only at certain speeds, great that all is possible with the protocol, a nightmare to find out which USB-C cables actually work for your job
