I doubt the headphone jack had much of an impact on the market, but the go-to-market strategy just wasn't there (Sprint isn't a tier 1 carrier), the camera got poor reviews, and their first accessory, the 360 camera, just wasn't compelling enough, even for the enthusiast market.

There is no reasonable medium to top end phone that is almost pure android and has a headphone jack. it's just stupid to drop it, those who want the headphone jack would buy such a unicorn phone that would lead to it being a real competitive advantage.
