>USB 3.0 is not an order of magnitude inferior to Lightning.

USB 3.0 micro plug is order of magnitude inferior to Lightning in arguably the most important part - experience of plugging and unplugging, which you'll do at least twice a day.

Until we can survive on wireless power, I'll take reversible Lightning over that ridiculous oversized Micro-B USB 3.0 (even the name is ridiculous) plug any day.

Don't hold your breath, "wireless" power is ridiculously inefficient even at extremely short distances. You might as well just use a good plug.
