That was the stated reason. The iPhone 14 is 7.8mm deep without a 3.5mm jack the iPod Touch (4th gen) was 7.1mm with a 3.5mm jack.

Additionally as other have stated there are thinner (2.5mm) audio jacks.

The iPhone 14 has a glass case while the iPod Touch 4th gen had a metal case. That alone accounts for a significant difference in thickness of the internals of the device.
