I use it every day on my way to work and most nights before bed.

Well I do almost daily
I use bluetooth when I'm out and wired when I'm home
I probably would if I had one. I used it all the time on the last phone I had that did have it.
I refused to get a phone without one for quite a long while and finally caved. I haven't used wired headphones in years but I hate that there isn't the option anymore as a default.
Everyday
If I still had one I would use it every day. I now use Bluetooth bone conducting headphones so I can hear other things while I listen to The Majority Report while I work.
My phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but I use wired headphones every day, so I use an adapter. I've had the same ones for about 10 years now, so I see no reason to replace them.
How do you get headphones to last 10 years? I usually have to replace mine every year or so, because of the padding wilting, or normal wears, or just something happening.
Both the ear piece padding and the cord are easily replaceable. I have replaced the cord… maybe once? The padding I've replaced a few times and is around $30 to do so.
I definitely used it when I had it on my previous phone. These days though… bluetooth headphones are good enough for me for calls, podcasts and YouTube. So I just use those.
I use wired headphones in bed, listening to podcast and whatnot. Easier to just yank out and throw away when falling asleep. I use lightning headphones right now..
I used to use mine pretty regularly for some wired IEM's and sometimes connecting it to my PC.
But a couple months ago, I put my phone in a bag of silica gel balls to absorb some water after it got wet.
Cannot recommend this to anyone else though... because those balls actually have roughly the same diameter as the headphone jack and one got completely stuck inside, making the port unusable. :(
I use it every single day. My phone just died, I have a temporary phone with Jack,, but I know my next one won't have one and I'm afraid of that change.
I've tried using an adapter and the quality sucks.
Someone needs to invent a headphone cord that directly connects to the USB C port. Is that a thing?
It is a thing. You can get a usb-c to audio jack adapter.
