Watch them roll with the most barebones feature set possible just so they can point and say, "see, lightning was obviously better!"
iPad Pro (2020 model onwards if I recall correctly) already uses USB type C already so it shouldn't be any different.
I could charge my android phone with it for example and in couple occasions I have done so.
Honestly, the fact that apple used usb-c on it's "pro" iPads but not the regular iPad is all the proof we need that even apple thinks usb-c is better
It's likely more to do with the iPad Pro architecture being essentially the same as a MacBooks. Makes it easier to produce multiple devices based on the same components. But they kept Lightning on the cheaper devices because the people using them are less likely to care how they (very infrequently) plug stuff in.
