Lightning was a good cable. It’s just that Apple didn’t improve it any for a decade and never opened it up so it could have been a standard.
It’s smaller and more durable. It’s just slow and proprietary.
USB 3.0 was released before the lightning cable and provided similar specs. Lightning cable didn't add anything
Usb3 came out in 2008 and lightning came out in 2012. You are confusing it with USBC
