We already do have the same connector for all headphones. Well there's also 6.35mm jacks but they're practically the same connector in more shear resistant (it is terribly easy to shear off straight 3.5mm jacks by stumbling over the headphone cord. I recommend a straight plug to straight socket section as predetermined breaking point, and an angled connector on the appliance side).
Headphones neither receive digital signals nor DC power, those are the areas USB-C is actually for... and even within that category we should be careful: Imagine all monitors being USB-C, people nowadays can't even manage to plug their monitor into the GPU instead of motherboard if every connector is USB-C, and they of course all won't have the same feature set, they'll plug it into the mouse our audio port.
What I definitely welcome is the death of the barrel jack, while the form factor is fine they never managed to standardise voltages and polarities. My cheap 10 buck kitchen scale I bought a week ago has a USB-C connector to charge the LIR2450 inside, that's perfect: No fast charging no nothing it just takes straight 5V meaning it will happily charge off a PC from the 1990s, cheap to implement for the manufacturer and they don't need to supply a wall plug.
There is a universal headphone connector.
What's next up for you universal connector? Power plugs? Garden hoses? Also as said everything having the same shape isn't exactly always an advantage. How about a portable DAC? Do you always want me to triple-check which is the analogue output and which is the charge/data port?
The garden hose thing was sarcastic. But please, go ahead, run 400V three-phase over USB-C. See what happens.
Also you never addressed the issue of not all USB-C ports supporting the same feature set.
Also the standard socket on the headphone side right now is Mini-XLR and you are suggesting to replace it with a connector which doesn't lock. Do you want those cables to fall out all the time?
