History disproves your argument. If not for Apple, we never would’ve had Lightning or USB-C. The electronics industry as a whole is not known for its great design skills or focus on user convenience. Micro USB is an example of what the industry will come up with on its own while Lightning and USB-C are examples of good design pushed forward by Apple, who is an outlier. Apple has frequently lead the way in embracing new technologies many years before the commodity electronic manufacturers followed suit.
