Since this is obviously impractical, do you suggest buying a new car to fit the phone, then?
You came to the point of absurdity. If the car runs, and phones easily supported it through a technology that stays highly relevant and widely used, then why is it changed?
It’s not that 3,5mm jack is outdated by any means.
Obviously missing the point. Technology changes. 20 years ago, cars replaced tape decks with cds. 40 years ago they were replacing 8 tracks for cassettes. New cars dont even include any media other than bluetooth and fm radio. 3.5mm may still be ‘useful’ but the fwct of the matter, the majority of users wont even notice its absence.
Sadly, they made it outdated. And it was surprisingly easy to convince people of that fact.
They said to people “we’re taking away functionality from you, but it’s a good thing, as now we can sell you the new stuff and you won’t have a choice - make sure to argue with people that don’t agree,” and most people obeyed for whatever reason.

Exactly. But screw them and screw that - even if Fairphone does it.
