Why exactly? I do not remember when last time I used lightning for anything else but charging. And I am completely fine with that. Forcing to have a physical connection to anything these days is archaic. Somebody lost all their photos because they were on the phone? Cloud has been here for over a decade, and people are not using it (not educated enough, unrealistic fear that someone will look at your photos and similar stuff, usually arguments as well as flat earth), but the biggest problem is the charging connector.
