This kind of dongle would be for Lightning accessories that plug into the phone, like headphones or speakers, where you can’t just swap out a cable because it’s built in. No more lightning port means those electronics would be useless for the new phones.
I can see that one use case, but boy is this an awful form factor for it. I would expect a longer cable in order to allow the device to sit flat somewhere rather than hanging off a short cable attached to some peripheral.
Also that same thing could be achieved with the Apple Pencil adapter that is female lightning to female usb-c, and costs less.
