Admittedly, the headphone jack thing on iPhones is f'ing BS. I hate it. Just give me the damned headphone jack, Apple.

I have Airpods and a set of Sony bluetooth noise-cancelling cans and I do not miss a corded headphone whatsoever, I don’t get what the big deal is here

Try taking a packed subway where everyone else is also wearing Bluetooth headphones.

Alright then. I have a little lightning adapter that goes to a headphone jack.

"just works" is different than works in ideal conditions or special proprietary adaptors.

You're right, $8.79 is a RIDICULOUS price to expect apple users to pay for the former ability to use wired headphones!
