It wasn’t needed. There are no benefits of usb-c over lightning for the usage it has. It’s not an evolution it’s a change.

They sell 1 TB iPhones that shoot 4K ProRes video. It also has terrible quality when used for video out connecting to a TV for e.g. a presentation. Lightning is wholly inadequate for modern devices.
There's a reason they've transitioned most of the iPads to USB-C.
It's a long term plan for a universal system. The benefit is very clear, just a few days ago a friend asked to charge his iphone at my place, I don't own lightning cables, everybody owns ubs-c cables
At least I won't have the problem of trying to plug a lightning cable into my USB-C phone in the dark.
