In what world does this make any sense, why not just buy a USB a to C cable? It would function exactly the same as getting an Adapter for the lightning... no? When could this possibly be needed?

Lightning peripherals. They are rare, but do exist.
This is likely just a stopgap solution for a niche audience.
It’s a specialty adapter. Almost nobody needs it, but if you need it, you really need it.
The price reflects this.
It sort of makes me low grade pissed off, but much less than the other ways capitalism preys on the needy.

More adapters at ridiculous prices, it never ends. I would hope the USB-C to lightning adapters soon to be sold at Dollar Tree stores will work, knowing proprietary marketing I doubt it. Apple is late to the party, I would bet that there is some inbuilt trickery in this adapter that recognizes it's authenticity.
I mean, it does end here, right?
