Apple cried and moaned about that and the battery repair regulation that was placed. They may have been planning to eventually switch but it definitly wasn't a soon endeavor until forced by the regulation.
They even posted multiple excuses of why they didn't agree with the decision because they felt the problem that the EU was trying to fix had been resolved since newer charging blocks had USB-C as the input so users could just swap the cable and use the same brick.
Being said, with big tech companies I think regulation is the only way, which means sadly will likely never happen in the US
