Lightning does plugin easier.

I'm just imagining you with some sort of force meter analyzing exactly how much effort is required to plug in a cable.

they're both easy to the point where comparing is inane

it's not the force, it's the angle.

lightning is much better when you are plugging it in in the dark(for example).

That has not been my experience at all. I find it easier to plug in USB-C in the dark.

Yeah, it’s also more round, which helps guide the connector, whereas usb is a perfect 90 degrees/perpendicular to the case or wherever

Connector specifications literally do specify insertion and removal force in e.g. Newtons, as well as how many times they should withstand unplugging/reconnecting, etc.
