I hold the opposite perspective, to me personally, the USB-C feels objectively better.
I own phones with both connectors and I've hit issues with two lightning cables over the last ~6 years where dropping the cable onto something metallic shorts out a couple of the connectors rendering the cable useless. Thus far I've not managed to do similar with USB-C.
Both cables ultimately wind up being replaced after fatiguing to failure in roughly comparable time IME.
Both adapters are pleasant to use compared to predecessors, but USB-C I can share between devices, so the 100W laptop charger will happily charge my phone etc which I find quite convenient.
I'm curious what you find preferable about the lightning adapter?
I wonder why they haven't setup a pyinstaller build for consumers that just want to use it? Making people have python and faff with virtual environments feels an odd choice...
Would be nice to see a nix flake etc for tinkerers as well...
