>people with high end headphones do.
I sure hope people with high end headphones use a dongle anyway, instead of plugging their headphones into a headphone jack with unknown output impedance.

the apple dongle is built so fragile that the dongle will break before the port does. so with a built-in headphone jack you risk breaking the jack, with a dongle you just replace it with a new one.
