It would have been sweeter if it was regular USB-C, so we're not contributing to the massive piles of e-waste generated by their continually changing proprietary adapters.

They have literally had 2 adapters for the entire history of the iPhone. "Continually changing" is flat out wrong and changing it to USB-C on the other end would support the opposite point you're making.

But if they switched, you’d be creating waste anyways; you’d need to throw out your lightning cables and replace them with USB-C...

  People usually have USB-Cs lying around anyway. Macbooks, Chromebooks, many monitors already use them. So do many Android phones.

  If waste really was an issue, Apple could do better and not use crappy insulation for their Lightning and MagSafe cables. I buy 3rd party cables because I know the cables will eventually fail in a year or two.

...you mean the Lightning adapters that have been in use since the iPhone 5 and would be thrown out upon the switch to USB-C?
