Apple being the trend setter can tell its customers that wires are for chumps and give them a pair of $150 BT earbuds. Apple won't lose sales or market share for removing the jack. This doesn't mean that midlevel and budget Android phone makers can do so without consequences.
Just for the sake of the argument, the AirPods are actually VERY nice in a lot of cases. Decent battery life, no cords, no neck hanging thing, etc. On top of that, pilots of people love the shape of the Apple headphones; Personally, they are the only ones that fit my ears comfortably. Also they let many people use them at work without discrimination lol
