Yeah that is the main reason why I'm sticking with my first gen pixel. The main problem I have with these manufacturers doing this is either they have no accessories to do this for (i.e. they don't have their version of airpods) or they take it too seriously like HTC did with their U ultra where you could only use their headphones and adapters. Worse yet, that phone didn't even come with an adapter!

Hopefully we see manufacturers implement what we actually want soon instead of making their products cumbersome
