That's a problem with all things apple. Not with the 3.5 mm jack. Samsung, LG, Microsoft, Sony etc all follow the same standard for buttons. I bet if Apple implemented a USB port in iPhone it would only support accessories who have paid license fees to Apple.

No they don't. That's why most Android earbuds only have play/pause and not volume. The volume is implemented inconsistently on different phones. I did research into earbuds for my Windows phone a couple years ago and learned that manufacturers were inconsistent. You could get earbuds with volume control for the Samsung Galaxy and they wouldn't work on LG devices. The same mess applied to Windows phones.
