Again, I get why people want wireless audio. That it will (and already has) become the default is a forgone conclusion. You don't have to convince me of the value of something which is already the default.

Did you know that the headphone jack came by default on most phones before apple decided to get rid of it on the iPhones?

Having a headphone jack on your device doesn't automatically kill your bluetooth connection to your favourite wireless device. Having both on your device doesn't impede improvement to wireless technologies. It was a trojan horse because it was presented as an either or scenario. That you were getting something new or better in exchange for the loss of the headphone jack when that's just not true. Same with the longevity and repairability of TWS earbuds in exchange for the convenience of no wires. It is possible to make a product which fulfills both criteria yet it's being presented as an either or once again.
