The adapter doesn't allow you to charge. So older cars can't Music+GPS+Charge which means you just have a dead phone when you get where you are going.

This is a really good point.

The car is another use case. My car has the cable, but no Bluetooth. Gps navigation is still a big power draw.

I get the feeling our use cases are no longer the same as the people who design these devices.
