google pixel 2 actually doesn't have a headphone jack

[Renderman In A Bowl]

i mean, honestly, at the very least an adapter is included in the box. it's just a bit annoying to have to carry around the dongle and all that (plus charging and listening at the same time can be an issue).

Or you can charge your phone at night and not be like a neanderthal

Without the headphone jack you can waterproof the phone and expand more technology inside the phone. While I will miss the headphone jack (and I do hate the fact that it's being removed on newer phones more and more), it opens more doors for technology.

I don't understand the whole point of waterproofing, do I just have an unnaturally easy time keeping electronics away from water?

I also like to listen to stuff while I am going to sleep. In fact, I struggle to sleep if I'm not listening to anything. And there are times when I know my phone charge will not make it through the night, so that it needs to be plugged in while I listen and sleep.
That all being said, I do not charge my phone based on the time of day. This is not a basis for when you should charge your phone unless it's absolutely necessary for an important part of your life. You instead, should only be charging your phone when it's near dying. About 0-15%, 20% if you really need to. Any higher than that, should only be if you're entering a situation where you both absolutely need your phone and have no way of charging it otherwise and it's going to die while unable to do so. The phone should also not stop charging till it's battery is completely charged. This is why your batteries start to die fast.

So why 'just charge your phone at night' when you can just:
-Not drop it in water (even though current ones are also water resistant while still keeping the jack) like a 'neanderthal' would.
-Not give a forget about all these features that you, as a casual user, are never going to be needing in a phone. Let's face it, you're only excited for these things because you love spending money.
-Let your battery last longer by charging it when it needs to be charged.

Wired headphones still work just fine. They're not made obsolete by something incomparable. And none of this matters to me because I'll never need one of those phones. Even someone who uses their phone a lot and for a lot of things doesn't need it. Mobile gaming is ass and seems to solely exist to pull money out of rich kids' pockets (There are people who spend thousands of dollars on these games to get on the leaderboard). Anything professional is better done on more powerful hardware. Anything that doesn't need powerful hardware can be done on some $200 non-plan phone.

and what about the charger port?

They can create their own proprietary design that is water resistant/proof, instead of having to be weighed down by the less water resistant design of the 3.5mm jack.

So what is wrong with using the speakers on the phone itself for a change?

Charger, not headphone.

less water resistant design of the 3.5mm jack.

"The headphone jack is sealed so no plug is needed."
"From what I've read, the headphone jack has a coating that makes it water resistant."
"The headphone jack is sealed, but I have no plans on experimenting."
"Many reviews on youtube you can watch show you can submerge the phone in water and will do fine so long as you make sure your back battery covered is snapped on all the way and the bottom port(usb) is cover with the small cover. Everything else on the phone is sealed and does not need a cover."
"I finally got brave one day and tried it, it's fine, one instance water remained in the headphone jack and the phone kept implying I had headphones in, as soon as I blew air into the jack, it was fine. Hope this helps"
"I've taken my phone underwater and taken underwater pics many times and my phone headphone jack still works... I think there is a protection inside"
"I've dunked my phone into the sink full of water to clean my phone once in a while and never had any problems."
