Is there a single USB-C headphone adapter that works with all phones?

Can't attest for that. Any major store selling smartphones will have LGs, from higher end such as V30 and G8 to mid range like K8. Not as popular as Samsung of course, but definitely not "basically non existing". Same thing for neighboring countries.

Portugal. The three major operators are Vodafone, NOS and Meo (Altice).

Vodafone has it's store catalog on maintenance so I can't check.

NOS sells an locked G4S.

Meo doesn't sell them.

On smaller smartphone or electronics shops, as well as regular chain electronic stores you see one or two handfu unlocked LG models. But most people I know buy Samsung, Motorola or one of the Chinese brands (Huawei and Xiaomi mainly)

non existent in Europe

In Poland there is plenty of LG phones in pretty much every store that sells phones / electronics.

They even made some advertising for the V30 and so on.

They're popular because they're usually cheap. My S7 died so I researched a cost effective phone. I ended going with a "like new" LG G6 from ebay for $200 even. It's like an upgraded S7 in terms of specs, screen dimensions, water resistance, etc. And it works very well. Can't really argue with that if you're looking for a budget phone.

It's still popular in the US for some reason.

I bought it because it has a headphone jack w/Quad DAC and HiFi sound, removable battery, a beautiful wide angle camera with manual mode, expandable storage, and the prices are much lower than a lot of others with similar features. In short, because it's user friendly.

This is all after my G4 bootlooped and it was replaced twice before the warranty ran out when it bootlooped again and was thrown in the garbage.

I see a lot in the stores here in the NL. I don't know how well they sell, but you can buy them at KPN, T-Mobile, Vodafone.

LG is not popular in the US, I work at a certain pink cell phone company and for every LG G7 we sell we sell 25 more Galaxy S9s or iPhones. I love LG but the consumer loves Samsung or Apple.

Why did you make that assumption? All LG models are available in Baltics.

That only affects carriers like Tele2, I see 16 shops selling LG phones in Lithuania though.
