And then you can sell USB-C -> Jack converters (which break after a while - I've dismantled one for recycling for my Raspberry Pi, later I might make one epoxy potted for my phone), easy to lose wireless earbuds, etc.
If the fucking usb c audio was at least consistent, but no, the dongles are different and the phones are different, good luck trying to not blow up ypur phone by buying the wrong accessory (I blame the spec, not that I've read it)
Best if you get one of those USB DACs. Those even work on a PC with a converter.
They did it to improve water resistance and to sell the more expensive wireless earpods.
which don't really matter unless the difference allows your phones to survive a full cycle in a washing machine. So far many phones which removed the headphone jack still does not.
