Difference being that you used to have the choice between wired or wireless. Now it's wireless or nothing at all.

Not good for people who enjoy the higher audio quality or just don't want to mess about with charging yet more batteries

Not to put a too fine point on it, that’s bullshit. I can plug in wired audio on all of my Apple products, except the Apple TV. I did like the optical audio the older models had. By default, I much, much prefer wireless.

iPhone are still sold today with bundled wired headphones.

Since when proposing a sold separately wirelesses alternative is "forcing you to go wireless"?
