There are some very bad lightning connectors too. In fact, you can buy lightning connectors that will destroy your iphone. Poor quality implementations in order to save costs have nothing to do with USB-C vs Lightning.

At least USB-C cables and chargers are a lot cheaper for reputed brands to manufacture officially.
