    That’s probably just the marketing reason. The realistic reason is probably that they want to sell you their brand of wireless earbuds that need to be replaced in a few years tops

      That conspiracy is one I believe too. Seems too odd that all OEMs dropped their jacks at the same time they started selling buds.

      That’s it, right there. Artificial exclusivity, that’s what it always was anything else is an excuse to look or seem better or less scummy.
