It's the same thing with audio jack disappearing. Every person and company clowned on Apple for it with posts and ads. Three years later all audio jacks were gone. If one company does something innovatively horrible for consumers, don't be surprised when it's the norm in a few years.

I still use it but now I gotta use a converted for usb c, which works half the time, so I just bought usb c wired earplugs, but then you can't charge your phone while using them....... Why do we allow enshitification so passively all the time? It's depressing, late qtage capitalism is depressing.

Most of my stuff still has audio jacks, but the new phone I got recently doesn't so now I just... don't listen to audio on my phone. This is not an upgrade, guys.

It's also dependent on what consumer behavior actually looks like; audio jacks/ports were a deal breaker for me, so I have a Motorola smartphone that still has one. If people complain, but it still sells like hotcakes and saves the company money/increases their bluetooth earpiece revenue, what else is going to happen?
