Same here. I kept my 4a for ages for the same reason until it died on me (power button stopped working).

I'm now on a Pixel 8 and am hauling around a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter as I don't want to put up with the logistics of keeping wireless headphones charged.

It works OK(ish), but often comes loose when putting my phone in my pocket while listening to music and little annoyances like not being to turn the volume as far down as I used to be able to on the headphone jack. Definitely a downgrade in user experience.

In German there's a nice word for this: Verschlimmbesserung.
