I agree the price is pretty high for what it is, but I wonder how much adding a headphone jack would actually affect it.

I bought the Fairphone 5 and yeah, I miss not having the jack and I see no reason to take it out

USB-A’s legacy lives on
I use earphones to listen to music and take calls hads free quite often.
I recently got a new phone, a Fairphone 5, which doesn’t have a headphone jack, and I’m already missing it.
Listening to music is fine, I just use a USB-C to jack adapter, but I’ve been told people can’t hear me well when I’m doing the same to take a call.
The other day I was in the car with my brother for hours and wanted to put on some music. I couldn’t connect to the car radio via Bluetooth because my brother already was and needed it to take calls and whatnot, so AUX cable here we go. Except apparently my phone does something weird like shutting down the USB port when not in use (reasonable) between songs, creating a noise like when you connect a jack to a powered on speaker, which was super annoying.
So, yes, I use the headphones jack and sorely miss it.
From what I remember the chip itself is pretty small, the size is all due to the cooling component.
Also keep in mind you’ve probably seen a development version of a quantum computer, where things are set up to be easily accessible to allow fixing and tinkering, without regard for size and optimization of space.
They’re in on collecting data, like every other company
