What I mean by listening to music on the phone is, listening to lossless files from the phone's internal storage using my old JBL or Sony. Even if wirless are better now a days, what if my old headphones are not bad too? A new Bluetooth headphone of the same quality cost a fortune too. Of course there are Smartphones still has the 3.5mm jack, like my current Sony. Or a USB-C adapter is the only way to go in the future? The problem is, why take people's options away if you don't care about ultra thin thickness? Fairphones themselves are not thin either.

And DAC is simply a different thing. If listening from home, there are different set ups for that with speakers. And my home sound systems are even older. They are not consumer products that you throw away every five years.
