Where I find this behavior most infuriating is on walking/biking trails in the forest preserve. Like, seriously!?! I get the desire to listen to something while exercising or just having your "you" time, but when you're riding a bike that cost thousands, you can probably afford some bone conductors or at least ear buds that offer a hear through option. Hell, the expensive units refurbished on eBay get pretty damn cheap.
I just bought a pair of anc earbuds for fun because I have a better set of anc headphones already. They sound way better than I expect or need and they were literally $25.

Public transportation people who want to start a fight
This is what happens when there is no headphone port

FTFY
You can get USB C to headphone jack dongles super cheap. Bluetooth earbuds are also cheap these days. Not really a good excuse

Besides it feels terrible, the sound lose all the qualities that make it feel decent.
Guy leaving the store this morning was holding his up to his ear while pushing a buggy with the other. Dude had four cases of soft drinks and he wont buy some cheap ear buds.
Guy was buying in bulk on the bus, he might not have been able to afford them.
What? He went and got in a late model car and left. He is just one of millions who don't have any problem with doing that.
I'm mostly fine with music. But dammit put the phone to your ear when your on a call in public.
But I wanna talk to people like I'm eating a slice of pizza!
I want everyone to hear my pepperoni.
Literally only glitch-hop and lofi. Nothing that's intended to sound Good Should be played on phone speakers
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
They want to inform the public of their incredible taste in music or their unfathomable depth of intelligence.
ikr it's so tinny and weird. My monitor has pretty crap speakers but I'll take that over listening to music on a phone anyway lol
Earphones
While you should never do it in public, those phones with the virtual 3d sound field speakers are starting to get pretty decent to listen to music on. Still, never listen at higher volumes, cuz that breaks it. But it's pretty awesome for any volume level where it can manage the right level of base for the song.
Specifically what it's doing is making it so each ear only hears the part that is meant for it, and doesn't get the bleed over from the other speaker. Virtual stereo isolation, the Switch 2 also does it in standalone mode. But yeah, of course, that only works for the primary user, anyone in the wrong physical location relative to the speakers won't get the effect. And actually it'll just sound weird to them.

I still use my wired headphones that I got with my phone from 4 generations ago
I still use the wired ones that came with my zune back in like 2006. They were incredibly good headphones for some reason. Thankfully, I don't use them much. Otherwise, they would probably be broken by now. Im going to be sad when they fo break one day.
Yeah... And even when it's reggaeton.
