I would say it's a pretty big annoyance but not a deal breaker to me. USB-C to 3.5 dongles are cheap and not that annoying if you get a flexible one

The USB C charging ports on my phones tend to become unreliable over time. It's manageable for charging as you can not move the phone once it's plugged in, but listening to music on the go becomes impossible.

I have two, they are flexible, and I find them obnoxious to have to use. I specifically chose my current phone because it has a headphone jack, and I won't make the mistake of missing that again.

Yea, but it does not work right! And Google, won't fix the old bug where the sound stops and starts every damn time the audio lowers!
