>> Number of users asking for headphone jack >>> Users asking for waterproof phones. As much I as a musician, who can't stand the unplayable latency of bluetooth headphones with any of my daily drivers, such as Garageband, and has invested in extremely high-quality headphones with cables, would take the headphone jack over a waterproof phone in a heartbeat; I have to say [citation needed]... That's a bold statement to make. While I'd prefer a headphone jack, due to my particular use case, most of my friends have or have no problem with using wireless headphones, and many of them have also lost phones or other electronics to even a small amount of water in the wrong place.

I went back home 2 weeks ago. My home is not part of the first world bubble that some people live in. Obviously this just anecdata but let me tell you that wireless headphones/earbuds have not even been a consideration for most people. Heck, even first world countries have lots of people still using wired earbuds for most use cases. I heard lots of grumbling about the loss of headphone jacks. I never even once heard someone say "this is not waterproof? I won't buy it!"

  Yep! When are people going to realize leaders of Apple, Google, Amazon and the rest are not capitalists. They are corporatists. These are the same companies lobbying for more government control - they don't want to have to compete. So much leftist propaganda! NH has been full of negative reviews and common-sense explanations for better tech designs for years now, but still few here feel entitled as customers (and designers or engineers)! People are learning to distrust their own experience of the world and trust authority when they are told what people "actually prefer" - and then they start preferring it... Disgusting.
