If that were to be the reasoning, the least they could do is provide 2 ports on phones so nobody needs a dongle to listen while charging.

Phones should have 2 ports, but Macs have 3 already

This is the sole reason I own a wireless charging pad.

sometimes you want to not only charge but also pass data via cable to macbook. Wifi has latency, airpods bluetooth also has latency.

It the past it was easy when you could still connect iphone/ipad to macbook via cable and still connect headset for mic and speakers. I tested a lot of splitter adapters and they allowed only to use headset speakers (no mic) and charge (no data)
