Disagree. Even with the flaws. Like it or not, USB-C is the new de facto standard. Even if Lightning were opened up, who else would use it? Current generation electronics of all sorts (laptops, phones, headphones, cameras, bike lights) are designed for usb-c charging. Old ones still have micro because they are amortizing down the equipment for making the port, and because everyone knows everyone has micro cables lying around. Even Apple households surely have USB-C lying around, so given the choice, why would any manufacturer choose Lightning for a net new product?
