Conspiracy theories about who bought it? I can imagine Apple being very interested in this to see if they can copy it or, more likely, stop it?

EU already ruled they have to start using USB-C for new iPhones starting in 2024

Copy? Do you believe them not using usb-c has anything to do with knowledge?

Does it include a cable?

Thankfully you can buy a robust usb c cable for $10 that lasts for years instead of the designed to fail apple cables that fail in a matter of weeks and cost $50, justifying the 86k pricetag.

It was a fun video to watch Kenny go through all the prototyping stages & finally build it out as well.
