Using a dongle makes it impossible to charge the phone or connect it to any other device while using audio, which I do all the time. I also frequently interchange my wired earbuds between my phone and laptop, and don't want to be bothered with an extra loose dongle when I disconnect the earbuds.

Sorry, this isn't a solved problem at all, apart from the solution of only buying phones that have audio jacks.

I feel like you missed the part where the parent comment said "[...] and there's even passthrough options for when you need to charge".

I have a passthrough dongle so I can charge my iPhone in the car and use an aux audio patch cable, and it's quite a large thing, certainly not unobtrusive but if you're charging maybe that doesn't really matter.
