I never really understood why the accessories were Lightning in the first place. They're intended to be Mac peripherals; if you can charge your Mac, you should be able to juice up your accessories with the same cable. It feels like USB-C was only used for Thunderbolt, and Lightning was pushed even places where it wasn't beneficial.
It also wasn't the end of the world, though. I use my Magic Trackpad plugged-in most of the time, so I just carry the Lightning cable as a dedicated connector. It's still bizarre and annoying though, the sooner they settle on USB-C the better.
