Exactly. Why would you trade something that doesn't require power, has the most reliable, secure, and lossless transmission channel known, and is "configured" by plugging in hardware for something that requires power, has a less reliable transmission channel that can be easily snooped or forged, has to be configured in software? I literally don't understand why anyone would ever choose the latter.

I want to own exactly one wireless headset/microphone so that I can get up from my computer without having to excuse myself from voice chat.

Like a laptop or smartphone has over a stationary computer, wireless headsets have a freedom-of-movement benefit over wired.
