Apple doesn't want this. Watch how long it takes for Apple devices anywhere else to change to usb-c... Won't be overnight.
What devices does Apple sell elsewhere with lightning? The only remaining lightning device I can find is the iPhone SE, the lower cost variant that has a legacy form factor including lighting and Touch ID. It’s is rumored to be seeing an update in the next few months.
Apple has spent half a decade implementing USB-C across its lineup, and was one of the earliest adopters of USB-C (to much criticism) back in the 2016 MacBook.
Apple recently removed the USB-A only SuperDrive, and replaced the Magic Mouse with a USB-C variant.
Other than perhaps old-stock, the only current Lightning device Apple is currently selling anywhere is the iPhone SE, which appears due for replacement soon.
