Lightning supports video. Or were you just making a joke about how unreliable it is? Cause man, I can't even charge my phone sometimes.

Lightning doesn't support video over mere cables. You need a complicated adapter that decompresses the video sent by the device. It's like a tiny streaming setup.
If you just pick up a generic lightning cable, you're not getting video.
Yeah, Lightning doesn't run HDMI or DP over it. I think Lightning still has some kind of video protocol for those adapters to work. USB (non-C) to HDMI requires special software on the host.
