According to wikipedia, the USB-C spec was finalized in 2014, while lighting was introduced in 2012. So GP's point was correct that USB-C was not an option when lightning was created.
As far as whether Apple should now migrate from lightning to USB-C, that's a separate question with tradeoffs on both sides.
