I really don't understand why we can't just have the headphone jack back. Did it even take up any significant amount of space?

Sure, it takes up some space. But so does having to carry dongles. If Apple made an iPhone with the jack back again and a couple percent smaller battery, I'd take the jack. The phones has already been getting thicker every year ever since 6 (the 2nd last iPhone so far with a jack), so that's no argument.

Right? Not to mention the dongles break super easily and also I can't charge my phone and listen to music at the same time :/

I imagine it helped deliver on another feature customers have been asking for for years, which is water proofing.
