No way, you just don't get it.

See, this is the only converter tried and tested to work on Apple iPhone 15™, which incorporates the most advanced technology designed by a dozen skilled engineers at Apple, and then manufactured through an industry-defining precision machining process that can assemble this adapter with accuracy down to the nanometer level. In addition, advancements in materials management have made this the most ecologically friendly adapter yet, using 30% fewer PFAS-containing elements and a 50% reduction in energy costs to meet Apple's 2030 goals. The end result is an adapter that offers no compromises and provides a cutting edge Lightning to USB adaptation experience, now with the USB 2.0 speeds you know and love.

And all of this can be yours for the completely reasonable price of US$29.99 before taxes and fees.

Funnily, while I’m sure they may have hyped the lightning connector, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them hype their dongles or cables.

I think there’s just so many tech illiterate people using apple products that they just de facto buy apple stuff for their apple stuff. No upsell or price justification needed.
