What about water-proofing? That's the best reason I've heard.

The LG V30 and Galaxy S8 have a headphone jack AND have IP68 waterproofing, versus the Pixel 2's (and iPhone 7/8) IP67.
Ah, very nice. Too bad a nice piece of open hardware is going proprietary.
As I understand it, they aren't waterproof when you have headphones plugged in. This is important to know if you like to listen to music or podcasts when you swim.
What about it? Samsung solved it.
