  • I don’t get why you get so much downvotes, because it’s not as obvious as people make it out to be and there are plenty of adapters. So it’s a good question.

    But yes. The 3.5mm jack had the thing companies say they are striving for: simplicity.

    DACs are nice and everything but the phone can just decide to not connect properly. The DAC can decide it had enough of your phone. In either case you’d need to reconnect them. And that means unlocking your phone, because a secure phone will block streaming to ‘unknown’ USB-C devices, unless it’s unlocked during the negotiation phase. And if your connectors have become wonky for whatever reason: Well, no music for you.

    And then there’s the issue where you have to have them at hand when you need them. In your car, on your person, while at work.

    3.5mm is great because it actually “just works”. One of the few things that can claim such thing.

    I’m too lazy to look up the numbers, but I think the premise of this argument is rather weak.

    Money spend on social welfare, vastly improves poor people’s lives. When you spend it on corporate welfare, the money tends to go into the pockets of people who are already pretty comfortable.

    This is a simplification of a multifaceted issue, but by and large I think this holds a lot more water than just comparing numbers.

    Also: There was a pandemic in the time period given, so there might be some selection bias.
