high end ones dont even have headphone jacks for starters
Google realized they aren't good enough at software development to prevent their phones from randomly stopping audio playback when using headphones, so they removed the plug for them in hopes no one would notice.
That's a weird claim. Do you have a source?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That's not a big deal. There are many external DACs that work great. And there are many DACs built into phones with headphone jacks that are awful.
My old Motorola X4 used the headphone cable for its FM antenna. The radio didn't work without it.
My current Moto G works the same way.
