That's a great breakdown! Dongles with both ports do exist, but it's a bit cumbersome to carry one at all times. Asus (and other manufacturers of gaming phones) have models with two USB-C ports, but it's a fringe-case scenario. By the way, the Lightning port will be gone from the iPhone 15 series onward.
Can still charge your phone while having your headphones plugged in
3.5mm Adapters exist for studio grade headphones
Pros for not having the Jack:
1 less hole for water to get into the phone
No wires to worry about getting tangled
The 3.5mm hole limited how thin/light/sleek the phone could get
Batteries can be larger without the 3.5mm jack
Honestly, I'd settle for a using another port (Like another C-Type) to plug your headphones into, not only to listen to your music/call, but also charge the headphones at the same time. So a Phone would have 2 USB Type-C ports, or 2 Lightning ports (For Apple's closed ecosystem). Listen to music, while charging the headphones, and charging the phone. All at the same time. Win Win in my book.
I think people are buying wireless because the wired option was taken away. Look at how much Apple has made from airpod sales. Same for Samsung and Google. I highly doubt they'd go back. Yes, Sony sells wireless but their phones are not for the mass market.

That's one way to look at it. But on the other hand, maybe people are buying wireless anyway...

Let's weigh the pros and cons of this topic.
Pros for the Aux Jack:
3.5mm Aux cord headphones are price effective
Better quality from wired headphones
Never need to charge the headphones
Can still charge your phone while having your headphones plugged in
