People who have accessories with a lightning adapter probably. Speakers, docks, etc.

Alternatively the adapter might be a cheaper option for third party cables that aren’t usb-c or usb-a on the other side of the cable.

Are those common? I don't think I've ever even seen a speaker with a built-in Lightning dock.

I remember these iPod docks were very common at the time of the 30-pin connector. However by the time Lightning came around wireless audio became more commonplace with Bluetooth, AirPlay and other related technologies (CarPlay, smart speakers etc.)

People blindly jumping on the USB-C wagon are completely forgetting how much money people spend on accessories that still work perfectly fine…

And they can use their current phones with them, no? No one is forced to upgrade - they can easily buy another lightning-having iPhone when their current one croaks and should be safe for the next 20 years (buying used iPhones) if their stupid accessories are so gd important
