None of those points demand the removal of the headphone jack as a compromise.

Here are some: making the design easier, making reaching IP rating easier. Again, I'm not saying it would not be possible to make those with a jack, but maybe considering the aforementioned compromise, it was easier to ditch it.

Exactly. It's a bullshit excuse to sell headphones. So fuck that.

Love the phone otherwise but won't buy without a jack.
