You do realise that Apple offered Lightning as a design to the USB-IF? It was rejected by the other members in favour of the obviously inferior Micro USB. Lightning’s versatility did eventually turn heads at the USB-IF, leading to the dev

The 'article' is a press release on a vendor's site. Are you expecting objectivity?

Car manufacturers make very few "parts" themselves. Gearboxes, as an example, are often designed and manufactured by companies like ZF[0] or Valeo[1]. They also sell these to the public at (usually significantly) elevated costs. I
