The way is see it is like the famous quote about cameras - the best one is the one you have with you.

I can always have my AirPods with me with no effort. They’re in my pocket with the same certainty as my keys, wallet and phone. Unlike headphones where I need to have a bag to carry them, and there’s enough power in the case to get me through most of the week.

That’s what I mean by all day long, not literally every hour of the day but whenever I want them, I’ve got them ready to go.
