Floppies lost to USB flash for the same reasons core memory lost to hard drives, new better, widely adopted, denser storage. No such relationship exists between current head phones and Lightning head phones. In fact, Lightning is not an industry standard, but analog cabling is. Lightning cables are less durable and not repairable. Analog cables do come in varying quality but can be repaired easily. One is patent encumbered and the other is not. Why would I buy expensive Lightning noise cancelling headphone when I can only use it with one manufactures equipment? It really makes zero sense.
