    None of that matters, because guess what? We used to have both, and you didn’t have to choose. Wow how the corporations seem to have erased everyone’s memory…

      If those things don’t matter, why’d you list them as complaints?

      Frankly, I don’t buy this particular issue as “choice being taken away from us,” I see it as obsolete technology falling by the wayside. As far as I’m concerned the freedom from having your head physically tethered to some other device outweighs any of the concerns anyone’s brought up, so why would I be upset about losing the “choice” to use an objectively worse option?

        It matters because they took away the choice. Please pay attention.

        It is not worse technology, it is in many ways superior technology, which I have already explained. Just because you don’t care for it or feel the need to lie about it doesn’t make it obsolete.

        Every OEM that removed headphone jacks simultaneously introduced $250+ Bluetooth headphones. If you can’t recognize that as proof of their real motivations, you need to get your head outta the sand.
