USB-C timeline vs Lightning is irrelevant.
Despite what Wikipedia writes, there is OTG support for mini-USB.



Lightning was nearly 5 years after Micro USB.


That's a year after USB-C.

Most Lighting connections only supported USB 2.0 (and likely didn't run at full speed).
So what are you trying to say? That Apple was being an idiot because they should have used micro (or mini) USB instead of lightning?
