Because most of the people who buy the airpods, have an iphone. So, they can use the cable they use to charge their iphone to charge their airpods and vc versa.

The fact that it's an usb-c to lightning is because all their macbooks are usb-c ;-P

I have an iPhone X, which is the only other device I own with a Lightning port. I use a Qi charger for it.

I also have an iPad Pro and a laptop that uses USB-C for power.

In fact, I had to look it up and was surprised to see that the iPhone 11 has a Lightning port. Odd.
