3.5 mm headphone jack is much 𝕞𝕦𝕔𝕙 𝖒𝖚𝖈𝖍 more robust than USB-C port. You can slingshot your phone by the headphone cable, and both the phone and the cable will be fine.

USB-C socket gets slightly bent and you cannot charge your phone.

It's also at the bottom of the phone, so you cannot hold it normally, while the headphone jack is at the top.

    That varied between brands and models, some had it at the top some at the bottom. There was no industry standard for the location.

    True.

    Ｂｕｔ！

    USB port is invariably at the center of the bottom side, there's no industry standard but it's a popular convention. Which means it's inconvenient to hold a charging phone with either right or left hand.

    Headphone jack is near the corner of the phone, top or bottom, it's convenient to hold with one hand - left or right depends on the manufacturer, but many opt for the jack to the left for right-handed users.

    This I actually don't agree with. I don't often charge my phone when i also need it (usually I'm sleeping when it charges), but on the rare occasion that i do, it's not in the way and I can't really see why it would be? How are you holding your phone since it's inconvenient? Standing in your palm??
