I think there are logical explanations for this as commented by others. I’m genuinely curious who’s actually transferring data from the phone port these days… it’s been years since I synced anything to my computer. My port is used solely for charging. What’s the use case? Music?
Moving large FLAC files onto my phone, and sending music data through USB into an audiophile DAC/amp. The higher the transfer speeds the better when you’re moving gigabytes of data from my computer to my phone.
Photos and videos for professionals. These days phone cameras are good enough for at least a backup device and they’ll transfer to laptop using cable. But I’d assume those people are on the iPhone pro models
Music and photos really. But they’re not common and you can do that on USB 2 speeds. For me I just take it as an opportunity to slow charge my phone. And I do it so rarely anyway, usually when I’m changing to a new phone.

Anyone using the pro to take raw images or 4k video. The files are huge.

I do it all the time to pull pictures off my camera to my phone. I can picture other photographers doing the same.
Only using the cable to sync with my Windows virtual machine with iTunes.
Wouldn’t have it any other way as iCloud isn’t for me.

Even when I sync to a computer, which is never these days, it’d typically just be over wifi.
