I might be convinced of that when they improve the battery technology. No company on the planet except for Apple can say "wireless is the future" and charge $159 for buds that last 5 hours.

That would make sense if wired wasn't far superior to wireless from a reliability and throughput standpoint

My issue with this is there are wireless headphones today, you don't need to remove the headphone jack to support them. It's a step back for no compelling reason.

Another of Apple's core tenets is "milk those cows [customers] for all they've got". They couldn't care less about any other market segment than the pure luxury status-seeker segment.
