Yes, but mostly due to the alternatives being pretty terrible (or expensive).
Previously I'd use sub-$30 sports earphones for the gym/exercise. These broke with regularity, mostly due to mistreatment, but I was fine with that since I didn't want an expensive accessory which could get lost, stolen, or broken.
Now without a headphone jack my choices are either a dongle which cost almost as much as the headphones and is about as reliable, or cheap Bluetooth headphones which sound terrible, have bad battery life, and are cumbersome. I'm absolutely certain that if you can spend enough quality Bluetooth accessories exist, but that doesn't fit into my use-case.
I wound up grabbing an old Android phone w/headphone jack, installed Spotify, and use it on the Gym's WiFi. Leave my actual phone in the locker, but still wound up with two devices to charge instead of one.
