On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

Literally every day. I got a new phone without one -- P7P, and when I reached to plug my wired headphones in, my next action was ordering a USB-C DAC. It's stupid that the industry has gone in this direction. An analog jack costs you basically nothing in material costs, it's like 5mm of plastic and copper, some solder, no more than 0.30-0.52 ¢ on a phone that market retail sells for $900-1200. It's insanity.
