How would it not be?
-I don’t need a dongle that I can lose. (You might never use your earphones with another device, but I do, so the dongle will need to get unplugged from the earphones at some point)
-I can use earphones at the same time as charging.
-A dongle is one more thing that can break.
-I’m not stressing a port with something that it really wasn’t meant for
Also, when I have a headphone jack, I still have the option to use a dongle or bluetooth, so nothing is lost by having the port
How do you plug something not designed for your port into it though?
Ofcourse you can use it like that, but it’s not made to have something plugged into it at all times.
The headphone jack is much longer and therefore stronger, a type-c or lightning port is kind of questionable at best
Yeah why would I want the clearly superior option instead of bandaid solutions…
What’s superior about not using a dongle?
Back when that was how I went around, the break point in the cable saved me a few times.

I always just put it in my pocket. They make passthrough charging dongles, never had an issue with one.
