    Why need a headphone jack? You can use the €1 small usb-c to 3.5mm jack and that’s it

      And you can’t charge/use OTG at once. Also if you plug in earphones 4 times a day and OTG/Charging cable or whatever say 5 times a day, splitting the wear between 2 connectors, you’d now be plugging and unplugging the USB port 9 times a day instead. So it also reduces lifespan of USB port.

      Also, I don’t need to carry a stupid dongle with me. And also, those phones don’t have FM radio.
      Lastly, it’s generally used as a push towards more expensive Bluetooth earphones, so that you’re likely to shell out even more money, and I hate that. Same with removable batteries, but I don’t get choice now.
