Well so does mine since it was an important feature to me. This conversation is about Apple products though, and they decided to make a convoluted reason to try and prop up their Airpods and Beats headphones to be "courageous". Samsung almost has the problem solved by wireless charging of devices from the phone, however I'm not sure about the long term ramifications of sending electrical signals directly at devices plugged into your ears. Apple Airpods remind me of that scene about hair gel from "Something About Mary" and are basically meant to be thrown away after a few years of use. Meanwhile I've had the same headphones with different earbuds for literally over 5 years. When there are two USB C chargers I might consider dropping the headphone jack.
