Except for when I switch my headphones to another device that uses the 3.5mm, or if I switch from in-ear to over-ear, if if I want to plug my phone into my stereo. In all those cases I have to move the dongle around.
You shouldn’t need dongles to use headphones. There is no rational reason a phone can’t have a headphone jack, it’s just Apples insanity spreading to the rest of the phone manufacturers.
As I already said, you plug it into the end of your headphone jack. It’s not something you carry separately.
Your headphone cable is now 1cm longer. It’s the same as if you bought headphones with a USBC cable.

It’s actually hard to buy a single dongle. They’re like 4 for $9. So you put one on everything.
For home stereo I bought a Bluetooth dongle and leave that plugged into the stereo.
So it’s not perfect, but it’s not like you can’t plug in your phone.
I was angry about headphone jacks for a long time but it’s easier to pick your battles and motion to more important things
