You really still use wired headphones? I can’t remember the last time I used mine. My phone and laptop still have the jack but I hate them. Catch on everything, having to keep the device by me at all times (which I don’t always have pockets for), God forbid I forget I have em in and go to move around, get em yanked out of my ears or send the phone flying. I mean I get it if the wireless ones die, but even then, I’d rather wait for them to charge.
And some of us just want to plug it in and not worry about it. If you want me to fully support wireless then I need a protocol that doesn’t randomly skip and robot.
You’re missing the point. It’s not about whether you like to use wired headphones or not, it’s about giving the user the choice to use them or not. Wired headphones are more sustainable, because they require less components, and don’t have batteries that degrade over time (and require slave labour to produce). So a company that brands itself as sustainable and ethical should absolutely include a headphone jack.

You’d be perfect for an infomercial.

Godd luck doing that when the battery can no longer hold a charge.
My Fairphone 3 still has a removable battery. I replaced the battery myself last year. It took me 10 seconds once it arrived.

All Fairphones, not just the 3, of course.
Awesome! Now plug in a set of wired headphones without using a dongle. Oh, wait…
I could do that, what’s the problem ?
You’re right, the Fairphone 3 still had it. Fairphone 4 and 5 don’t.

Also that doesn’t sound like crap on calls and supports simultaneous bidirectional audio.
