It's coming, if phones are any indication. And yeah I need an adapter, it doesn't dangle like a dongle, it's a big hole with a small pole on the other end which is much better, afaik there has never been a computer ever that had a 1/4" instrument cable port but most audio equipment does, since I have both it makes sense to have it, whereas "they took away the 3.5 so now I have to go 1/4">3.5mm>USBC because they also don't make a 1/4th>USBC anywhere on earth" does not make sense unless you're trying to sell me something.
Shocker that specialized equipment requires a specialized cable, I know, but my point is 3.5mm is absolutely not specialized hardware, it is still one of the most common connectors on earth, and as such it should still be supported.
