It's too big (at least according to those "slim" worshiping designers).

Then use the standardized 2.5mm analog audio plug that was designed for space-constrained environments.

Yes, but if you're going to change it, might as well go full on. Why use a same-era technology?

Yes, it will be thin too, but it will also have the same issues as going for a digital interface (annoying people with the change etc) -- but without any of its advanced capabilities (e.g. for device control).
