Really my point was just that Apple designed the lightning connector instead of working collaboratively toward a USBc-like standard

They did work collaboratively towards a standard. They just also in parallel worked on their own project, because they know standards can take an indefinite amount of time, so it could have been a decade to get USB C fleshed out, while they had already been working on Lightning in the background.
