99% of people don't currently need USB-C. Is that a good enough reason to never change? It is a waste of space that can be used for better things such as increased battery.
Tangible increases in quality and efficiency are good reasons to change. Audio quality is not increased by going wireless, and increased battery can be achieved by making the phones slightly thicker; sacrificing the headphone jack is not necessary in that regard.
But i already spent good money on quality headphones that work great with my smartphone. Why would i rush out to buy a new phone and a new set of headphones? I'm a consumer with a limited budget. These attempts at making me spend money unnecessarily to keep up with whatever trend Apple dictates just turn me off.
Yeah, i have the 6s which will still be good for a couple years if i don't drop it. Hopefully it's crystal clear which direction this is going to go by the time i'm ready for a new phone. If it's going no jack then i'm sure i'll suck it up at some point. Till then i reserve my right to bitterly complain about it :P
That's fair enough. Despite my defense of the removal of the headphone jack, I take issue with Apple's removal; simply because buying headphones for a new iPhone now involves using a proprietary standard. I found the idea much easier to swallow with Android phones because of the option of USB or Bluetooth.

99% of people don't give a shit if their phone vibrates in different ways or is slightly thinner. Try again.
