>> "- Are protected from falls by the cord"
The wire also tends to be the CAUSE of the fall. Earphones never just 'fall out' of my ear randomly.

However, my main concern is accidentally dropping them when removing them - if they fall on the subway tracks, they're gone, and if they fall on the ground, there's no way I'm putting that back in my ear without sterilizing it.
I cannot wear the Apple earphones because they don't fit firmly: they're moving constantly (which generates noise that I hear) AND they tend to fall from my ears, even just sitting down in my computer and moving my head slightly.
I would love to get rid of the cables, but airpods would be even a bigger problem, because at least with the cord they won't hit the floor.
I usually employ in-ear earphones, which come in different sizes and that resolves my problem.
TL;DR: it's not only sports/exercise, there's people with smaller ears :)
