One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It's a shame it's not a thing, USB is extremely versatile port, but you only get one and it's used for charging half of the time. (I am aware dongles exist)

    It never dissapeared - you just started buying devices without one

    I'd rather have another USB port actually. It's just so much more versatile.

    I started using wireless headphones back when I had Sony Ericsson 530i dumb phone. Also phones back then didn't have headphone ports either. Who the hell cares about it?

    I think you misunderstand what I mean by "good" headphones. You're caught in the electronics hype cycle. Good headphones exist outside of that cycle. Also good wired headphones you never have to charge, the battery never dies. If you take care of them they never become ewaste.
