You make it sound like they had to remove the headphone jack to have the other stuff. They didn't. They just wanted to push users to buy their very not environmentally friendly wireless headphones/earbuds.
As a f*irphone user, I feel so perplexed about this. On one hand, they do all these awesome things like unlocking the bootloader, repairability, opensourcing the schematics, etc. But on the other, they do this predatory garbage to get you to buy their shitty headphones. Just goes to show that companies are never your friends, not even "ethical" ones.
Oh I'm not saying they had to do it. It sucks that they did. But their phones are still good.
