I was annoyed when I found out the phone I was considering didn’t have a headphone jack, but after checking the prices of Bluetooth headphones, I wasn’t as concerned. The battery charge for the headphones lasted longer than I was expecting, too. Now I’ve grown to prefer them, and wouldn’t go back even if I had the option.
I want it and use it and therefore got a S10+ just bc it's Samsung last flagship that featured it. What's even more annoying, that my 10" tablet hasn't got one there is absolutely no shortage in space on that device why you had to drop it.
My phone (Pixel 7) does not have one. On occasion I use a pair of wired USB-C headphones but only for media. I do not use headphones for calls. Bluetooth in the car for calls and YouTube Music.
I do not use mine, because if I want to listen to something in public, I just save it for later, when I'm home. Then I can play it at whatever volume I want.
Back when I went to the gym before covid, I had a dedicated music device I used for music, not my phone.
I mean, why in the world with someone at all concerned about security want a way to listen to their phone without the chance of someone listening in because of bluetooth?

I like wired. They always connect to the device I want it to connect to the first time.
I won't buy a phone without it. Currently on a Pixel 5a 5g
Mine has one but even though I don't use it, it's good to have it for emergency situations when your bluetooth headphones are out of battery.
You ask three different questions here but expect only one response.
I use BT only.
Man I can only dream of a new pixel having a headphone jack. And ain't no way I'm getting off grepheneos.
I use it daily, including right now.
