A few higher-end commercial headphones now support Bluetooth AptX LL (low latency).
Probably won't sway you, but it exists.

- Still more irritating to have to keep charged rather than just plug in. Still more irritating to switch back and forth between my phone and my laptop and my desktop though.
- Still more irritating (or even impossible) to share my single audio source with someone else's headphones though.
- Still more irritating to pipe into the mixer and play back over big speakers though.
I had a phone with only USB-C for a while. Sure, dongle's exist. They also get buggy and drop out occasionally, since they've got firmware. They also make it challenging to charge and listen simultaneously. They also get lost easily.
There's a lot to recommend a simple 3-wire electrical connection with a standard plug. I don't begrudge people who want to use bluetooth at all, we can all coexist, just keep the headphone jack available so we can. :-)
But yeah, the venerable 3.5mm headphone jack is simple and effective and doesn't have many of the problems that plague wireless headphones.
Any good phone should have both.
