We want to say "usb" anywhere we'd say "lightning" because to us lightning is just another funny flavor of USB connector, like USB-A, USB-C and micro-USB. If we do that but the spec includes "lightning", that will confuse people. There is an argument that separating lightning will lead to a better use experience, but we, who are ultimately in charge of the user experience on the only devices with a native lightning connector do not think so. If the argument is maximum information, then "usb-a" and "usb-c" should be separate. The response was that those are folded together because they are widely cross-adaptable, so it hurts more than it helps to treat them as different. We feel the same way about lightning, and we believe lightning and other flavors of USB are also widely cross-adaptable. The counter argument is that maybe lightning adapters are not as common. Is there some objective threshold of adapter availability that we could use as the dividing line? -- GitHub Notification of comment by othermaciej Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/issues/1294#issuecomment-529738497 using your GitHub account
