? It is just as good and it supports those controls and the microphone. There's multiple standards for the inline controls on TRRS though.
It also tests better than most audiophile DACs.

Time moves on, should they also have not gotten rid of the 30 pin adapter?
The play and pause control still works on the headphones

Apple is still releasing new hardware with a 3.5mm port! The port is far from outdated. Again, both wireless and wired audio coexisted nicely on the iPhone, this is a problem of their own doing, and they've made the experience objectively worse.
We're just going to have to agree to disagree.
They did have 5 generations of phones with 30 pin adapters.
The $10 adapter apple sells doesn't sound as good as the one they used to build into their phones, and removes inline volume/play/pause controls. Not only that, but now I lose access to my phone's charging port in order to use a wired connection (Charging needed during GPS usage), unless I buy an even more expensive adapter — most of which are unreliable and have universally terrible reviews.
Macs still enjoy the best of both worlds with wired + wireless support — including the upcoming 2022 models — and it's hard to deny the phone (And tablet!) experience hasn't gotten worse without the 3.5mm jack.
