Now the phone standard is IP68. There were no IP68 compliant headphone jacks until recently, I think the ASUS Zenfone 12 is the first one.

The phone I'm literally holding right now (Xperia 5V) is IP68 compliant and has a jack...

it went away, and phones still sold like hotcakes

Well yeah, you basically need smartphones, it's not very optional. What's your point?

While those with headphone jacks aren’t being bought anywhere near the same volume. So the signal is very clear

There are very little options with headphone jacks so yeah, your math is on point. Lol. How can a product that doesn't exist sale in high volumes?

It is a feature that doesn’t drive sales. Period.

Correlation is not causation.
