This. Exactly my take too. Manufacturers are not as tuned in to user feedback as most might think. Many think they know better. No one worth any chops in UX tho

This. Exactly my take too. Manufacturers are not as tuned in to user feedback as most might think. Many think they know better. No one worth any chops in UX though sees the removal of the audio jack as good. I've read and heard all the arguments in favor of removing the 3.5mm audio jack. Everyone ignores the fundamentals of good UX principles though. Too many companies have a very narrow UX scope though.
