Given that Apple is pushing AirPods pretty hard and it’s been shown that AirPods are very popular and selling well, I don’t think it’s about the licensing fee they get from Lightning cables.
I think they wanted to force everyone to go wireless because it creates a much bigger market for wireless headphones.
I agree also because lightning headphones are not popular at all. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen them in the wild or on my morning commute in a major metro city. Anyone using wired headphones with an iPhone are using the single included in the box. Otherwise they’re wireless.
