A couple things. All the cables there are pretty overpriced imo vs what I can get on Amazon from like cables to go or ugreen. You’re also comparing cables with half the conductors of those usb c cables and with higher Guage power cables to hit the higher amperage that usb c allows.
Apple used USB C in laptops because of the power requirements.
I’ve got plenty of lightning accesssories. Only one of those is made by Apple. Lots of cheap 3rd party lighting alternatives available
Every one of those accessories could have been cheaper if apple didn’t effectively drm their port through the mfi program.
Odd. Looking at a third party, I tend to buy from a 1m Lightning charging cable is exactly the same cost as a 1m USB C charging cable.

Bottom line - the price difference is negligible to the consumer
