Also all flagship phones either have 20-26 hour battery life and charge fast so having to "charge and listen at the same time" is just you being dumb.

This definitely forgets people who use their phone to navigate while they're driving. I plug my phone into the aux and the charger. (because the battery usually depletes pretty quickly, even on a google pixel, when you're playing music and using google maps navigation at the same time) My workflow would get all forgeted if I couldn't do both simultaneously.
It's basically an inconvenience whenever you'd be trying to listen to something during some sort of long ordeal like while driving or on a plane because you wouldn't be able to charge it during.

the iPhone did the same thing. It's still stuffty having to carry around a dongle with your headphones.
Renderman In A Bowl:
They removed the headphone jack so they could add stuff like more screen or a bigger battery, that's why the iPhone 7 doesn't have an empty sack where the headphone jack used to go. Also most users of the iPhone 7 and Moto z have had no issue with the 3.5 jack being gone.

If this is true, explain how the iPhone 7 headphone jack mod is becoming popular, even though there's no room due to bigger screen / battery?
The screen is a very slim part of the phone, and many many flagships today are releasing with pitifully small batteries for their pricepoint

the next iphone will just jam all electronics that aren't made by apple.
