There are phones that claim to be waterproof and still have headphone jacks.

Yes but that doesn't change the main reasoning behind Apples decision as it was publicly conveyed; water ingress.

Corrected, i was initially going to write that they've added some valve for egress to balance the pressure so that stuck :P

Some Thinkpads have put drain holes on the bottom connected to the keyboard, so water egress holes aren't that crazy an idea!
