No, because in practice that isn't a thing that regularly happens, and as the tech continues to die out it will be less and less possible.

Most people do not own and cannot use a soldering iron.

"cannot use"? Where you born without hands? Also, that "practice" is not an ancient tradition. It's an extremely simple process that takes 15 minutes. Also no, normal headphones will not "die out".

I'd be willing to bet on the latter point there. Laserdiscs are similarly dead technology. Niche collectors may enjoy them, but they will not be catered to for the average consumer.

Yeah, that analogy doesn't track. But sure buddy, whatever you say.
