It's also crazy how there is this push from all OEM to remove headphone jack and force consumers to use wireless earphones, further making the attack surface much wider.

Even now I think we should've added a second USB Port if we were going to remove the headphone jack.

A second USB port or headphone jack adds $1(US) to the manufacturing cost, if even that. Can't cut into the corporation's massive profits by even a little. Nope, can't have that.
