Well, FWIW even without these kinds of forcing, Apple still will move on to the USB-C connector... USB-C is literally an Apple designed port. The iPad Pro is adopting USB-C, I suspect that the next generation of iPhones will also adopt USB-C. It's just that the current market of lightning is too big and they weren't prepared for the overhaul yet.

Apple had engineers on the design team, but it's definitely not their invention. Even an Apple-focused publication agrees with that: https://9to5mac.com/2015/03/14/apple-invent-usb-type-c/
