    Several reasons:

    1. Almost all of their products target the high end market (and even then, they are known to make stupid decisions to cut off high end use cases).
    2. OSX tends to be opinionated on certain settings and it is hard (or impossible) to change them.
    3. Many of the built in software only work if you exclusively use Apple products.
    4. Apple simps.

        Really? Back on Reddit, every time I said something about Apple, I get at least 5 comments saying how “that isn’t a problem”, “lol you have no idea” and things like that.

        Especially the head. phone. jacks. Oh my, the mental gymnastics were unforgettable.

          Even in you’re own example, it sounds like you’re the one going out of your way to complain about it

          All you’re complaining about is that people disagreed with you when you removeded about Apple lol

            Thanks for proving my point.

            You are literally suggesting how you have fixed (or rather, worked around) the issue… by suggesting another much more expensive solution. Pretty much just like the other comments I mentioned before, except that they were suggesting wireless headphones, or buying dongles, or any of that jazz.

            I just want to charge my phone while I’m wearing my headphones, without having to buy any external dongles or gasp external DACs.

            Apple set a terrible precedent for other phone manufacturers by removing the headphone jacks, they showed how they can screw over customers and people will still sing praises for them, it’s baffling because it’s a blatant attempt by Apple to promote their own wireless headphones!

            Although it’s been better now in the Android world, but there was once when those companies touted “lack of 3.5mm” as a feature.
