Gopher dear chap, please realise that I was generalising.
I know that nobody will get rich selling 4 packs of USB thingies, but as a general rule novelty sells.
Look at all the people queuing to buy the latest iPhone, does it really do so much more than their existing one year old phone? Probably not.

Why drop the headphone jack?
The only way to use non-Apple wired headphones, is to then purchase a lightning to 3.5mm adapter.
You are forced to buy something else.

They are not very expensive and are no longer available, but I happen to like them and they have a 3M long cord.
Why should I be forced into using wireless headphones, if the battery is low and I want to listen to some music?

If one tries hard enough, I am sure they can come up with an unworkable situation. The solution to all of your problems is obviously either bluetooth earbuds or a flip phone.
