Bluetooth beacons are a thing. You can effectively track someone through a store to the point where you can recreate their steps all the way down to the product level.
Also, wireless headphones are just another thing to keep charged and are uncomfortable to fall asleep when wearing while the dongle means I can either charge or listen.
I get that removing the port helps with waterproofing and one less hole to clean and yea, it is 100% a personal choice.
The waterproofing argument -- which I have heard before -- makes no sense at all to me for a TRS audio jack. You can seal the port off from the rest of the phone. Okay, dump it in water and you will short contacts, but TRS connectors get shorted anyway every time you're plugging or unplugging something into them. They're pretty much the one connector that is guaranteed to need to be able to handle having the contacts shorted.
The "space" argument, that it consumes a lot of space in the phone, that I get.
