Are you seriously complaining that they didn’t wait for a tech that hadn’t even been announced or released yet? Do they have a time machine or crystal balls now in Cupertino?

They were well aware of it, even contributed to the design

Again, this was after Lightning was already designed, released, and had millions of accessories made for it. It doesn’t change the point at all.
