Heh, to be devil's advocate, sorta, we have had BT option for 17 years or so. The problem is, BT audio quality is sketchy, seamless connections are hit/miss, interference &, my fav, waning battery life.
My question to those who would take the jack away is: why would I want to exercise $50+ option that is dependent on batteries when a $5 always reliable option exists? Probably the same reasons the h/w keyboard went away: profit, elegant fragility & control.

The data rate has required compression that screws with the signal quality, and then there are the latency issues. If Bluetooth was "great", everyone would already be using it. They aren't. Ergo, it's not time for the "legacy" port to go. I am also concerned about the push to end-to-end digital delivery. Which also gets DRM-ed up the wazoo. Sorry, I don't agree that whoever's coding up whatever implementation gets to determine my usage rights based upon their private project, implementation, and incentives as opposed to my actual, legal rights (which their lawyers are simultaneously busy trying to erode).
