Plus I don't want to have a dingle I can forget when in a rush.

Just have the dongle permanently attached to your earbuds like it's a part of the cable.

Awesome solution. Remove the port that everything used to have and make consumers buy adapters. I have like 5 headphones. Should I go buy an adapter for each one? Not to mention that I can easily fix a headphone cable but if a 3.5 to usb-c adapter breaks, it basically becomes junk.

I use them and that's more than reason enough to want a reliable, small, cheap, jack that literally has no downsides and lets me use my devices how I want to use them.

Unless you want to use them with a device that doesn’t have a headphone jack.
