So creating a demand for a market that wasn't in demand, that sounds artificially created, infact it is.

  So what? That's how the history of technology goes. Innovations come along that people didn't want until they were there. The technology creates the demand. Henry Ford said (and I paraphrase) "if I had asked people what they wanted they would have said 'faster horses'".

    But people could still ride horses when cars came about and they still can, the transition happened over decades. But this change is happening over a matter of years, the reasons for which are not utilitarian.

      And people can still use phones with headphone jacks. Did the existence of cars destroy the existence of horses? Is Apple stopping all companies from using headphone jacks?
