Or Micro-USB -> USB-C for that matter. Lightning and USB-C stand on equal ground relative to the Micro-USB "standard-ness" regarding charging, as in, in spite of USB-C being a standard, both represent a departure from the previous port.
I think this debate is quite theoretical though: the goal of the EU regulation was to prevent the 1:1 mapping between phone and charger, which produced enormous waste. Whether it's µUSB, USB-C, or Lightning, all of them separate cables from bricks, and make cables and chargers reusable across whole ranges of past, existing, and future phones. At the end of it, there's no practical need for one port to rule them all, waste is already greatly reduced and convenience is vastly increased, further gains would be quite marginal.
