There needs to be serious consequences to companies (and their CEO's) that have a blatant disregard to the security of its users.  Security is a never-ending cost of doing business and it's obvious many don't do it.  It's almost to the point where it happens so often that people are now just accepting it as the status-quo which is the worst thing to do.

PSA: Apple's Lightning has 480 Mbps which is over 80 times SLOWER than USB-C at 40 Gbps! And Apple decided to use Lightning on their flagship $1100 iPhone 13 over the vastly faster better and more compatible USB C because innovation.

The 40gb/s is a Thunderbolt spec, not USBc.  USB4 is has the Thunderbolt protocol as part of the USB4 specification.  People can/do backup their iPhones over WiFi anyways, so having 40gb/s on a phone is in many ways silly.

Every so often, these first-world pro problem stories come across as ADHD people that need their next 15-minute attention fix.  "Underwhelmed"?  Whatever.

It's my understanding that even with Apple's battery-saving tech, charging batteries that fast tends to degrade them faster.  I don't understand the difficulty in just charing them with a humble 5-watt charger overnight while one is sleeping.  I have an external battery pack to charge my devices when traveling when there are minimal charging options.

Has Microsoft ever said on the record that Windows is "supported" on Macs?
