I dunno about "long time" - I got the first USB-C Macbook when it came out and I think it was less than 16 hours after that before Amazon delivered me a USB-C to USB dongle (could have been quicker if I was in London instead of Manchester, I think.)

Until maybe 2019 iPhones came with a Lightning to USB-A cable and all MacBooks since 2016 had no USB-A ports, meaning that for years it was possible to go into the Apple shop and buy a new phone, and a new laptop, and have no way to connect the two without spending more money on top of the several thousand pounds you’ve already spent.
