What you mean "stay"? Lightning does not use Thunderbolt, so no iPhone ever has.

That depends on how Apple can handle the stuff inside. Nothing legal prevents them from integrating thunderbolt to the plug like they've done on macs as longs as it does not interfere with the port working to standard as USB-C.

Lightning and Thunderbolt are different things. Thunderbolt (specifically version 3 and 4) is a interface that uses the same plug as USB-C
