I think the free market can take care of that. If you want a physical connector, just buy a device that comes with one.
You just might need to go to a place like Guitar Center (instrument store) to buy one. That's what I did when I needed headphones.

And current owner of Sailfish and Pinephone. Network effects mean that some apps are only on iOS and Android. Of those two, only iOS has a net-effective security and privacy story, if used without iCloud. The free market includes feedback from existing users. Microsoft learned that over time. Even Apple does, reversing course on keyboards and touch bar.
