Can't you use... any other Bluetooth headphones with it? I feel like saying you have to use AirPods is a bit disingenuous.

Yes. You can use $20 Amazon bluetooth headphones. And you can use a $9 adapter that fits in any wallet or purse easily:

And they come with free lightning headphones in the box.

When I got an iPhone 8, it came with that adapter in the box. I do keep a spare we had lying around in my cross-body bag too, for times like using someone's aux cord in a car.

Yes, it's another thing you can lose, but in practice I don't think it's really a problem -- certainly not the issue that would decide a phone for me, since rarely are all other specs equal.

Or the headphone adaptor, or the lightning earpods that are included with most iPhones nowadays.
