It's crazy to me that the modern headphone jack has in some form been in use since the 1800s. And now the lack of competition is causing this incredible invention to disappear, in favor of shitty bluetooth buds (with the exception of AirPod Pros which are great).

Passive ones have no cancellation and very few have passive isolation. Even moderate background noise makes them unusable without dangerous sound levels. Phone earbuds are mostly used on the go. Having a cable is way too much of an inconvenience in the age where Bluetooth exists. Especially if it reduces the waterproofing or increases cost to add the jack.
