Maybe I am in the minority but I’ll never need an aux jack again and I see it as another point of failure for water damage.
Ahh like I get the argument but it is technology progressing, lots of cars didn't have cd players when the world moved from tapes. The infrastructure responds to demand.
Just because it's more modern doesn't mean it's a 1:1 replacement.
Wired is cheaper, and it has better quality, but it can also be annoying if you're doing sports.
It's the same for HD and SSD. I still prefer HD to store multimedia and backups, despite being slower and older than SSD.
There is no reason for them not to coexist.
