I also have a problem with it, but for the opposite reason as Apple.
They want it to be USB Type C as far as I know. USB is a proprietary standard controlled by a private organization. If there is to be a mandated standard, it must be open source and freely implementable, otherwise you're basically just funneling money into an organization, licensing money no less, they're not even doing anything meaningful for manufacturing the charge connectors.
Is there an open hardware alternative?
