I don't require it as I have used a phone without one. However when I have one there's always times where I'm thankful it's there.

AirPods >5y now.
Nope. I was already switching away from wired headphones anyway because they're annoying to keep around.
Why do people hate a 1 inch dongle so much?
Not like you even notice it's there with wired headphones.
You can even get one that charges and plays at the same time, yes it's a little bulky, but if you're charging and have wired headphones it's always going to be bulky.

With the jack-to-lighning adapter that came with my iPhone I can easily use my wired headphones those 2 times of the year. The rest of the time, my phone is a tiny bit smaller that it otherwise would be.
I haven’t missed having a headphone Jack on my phone for at least 10 years. I’m perfectly happy with the performance of my AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones when I’m on the go.
Fidelity on the go isn’t a concern for me as long as it’s ‘good enough’. All the ambient issues makes high fidelity pointless imo when I’m anywhere but home, where I’ve got my real audio setup.
