The 15 uses an older chip that was designed for iPhones with lighting cables limited to USB 2. So it's unlikely the hardware is there for USB 3/4 speeds. But it's not unfeasible to add a dedicated chip for faster USB speeds.

Where as the pro model uses a new chipset. Designed for the 15 pro and likely the 16 non-pro. This has on due USB 3. It would be short sighted to not include it here.

Both phones would have very fast WiFi, I imagine that's the use case for 90%+ of users.
