Bluetooth honestly isn't better yet. They should've waited to remove the headphone jack until Bluetooth 5 headsets were out (same bandwith, but much lower power, easier pairing and much better compression). It would've made some sense. I'm guessing that they thought the headphone was interfering with their design for iPhone 8, and that they wanted to take the PR-hit with the 7. They were in the loop about the Bluetooth 5 spec, so for them it made sense, even if it's too early for consumers.
