That would be a good explanation if it weren't for the fact that there have been phones with IP ratings and headphone jacks.

The difference of course being that those don't sport the Fairphone's modularity.

Motorola can include a 3.5mm jack in the moto x4 and get an IP68 rating. Why does Fairphone have to eliminate it to get an IP54 rating? Clearly, having a 3.5mm jack is not an impediment to getting an IP54 rating.

The S5 had a removable battery and backplate with headphone jack exposed, and had a IP67 rating. It's easy enough to do just no one wants to put in the engineering work.
