I don't really buy the "but think of the environment!" angle. Feels like green washing. This is going to hurt their profits, because they were artificially gatekeeping their tech. As far as I understand, lightning isn't any better than USB 3 or C connectors, in any regard.
I'm all for innovation but this seems like it'll have a positive effect for consumers.
