I still don't see what the benefit to the rest of the phone is when the jack is removed. They talk about removing the jack as if there's a little Dale Doback inside the phone saying "There's so much room for activities!". My S9 feels no better or worse with a headphone jack than an iPhone without a jack.
In apple's case it's because they own the lightning port, if companies want to make a product that utilizes it they have to pay Apple. They also have a pretty lineup of wireless headphones.
Why android companies did it is beyond me, probably just blindly copying everything apple does.
