Same. I can sympathize with people who use the jack but me personally, I couldn't give a shit that companies started removing it. I was an early adopter of bluetooth earbuds. My biggest issue when using headphones with a phone was actually the coord. I'm the kind of person who would get it stuck everywhere and and have it tangled up while in my pocket. I would go through at least one pair of buds per year because the coord would get damaged. I also remember damaging the socket itself on my phone and it became the deciding factor for buying a new phone. So it was a no-brainer to switch to bluetooth because I'm getting rid of my biggest issue, which is the coord.
I'm still using the 1st generation of airpods. That's 7? years of not buying new headphones. I don't know what would have to happen for me to use coorded headphones with my phone again.
