My laptop has exactly one USB-C port. It's on the back and it's the one port that directly connects to the GPU so slightly better performance if I use that with my external monitor. The audio jack on the side is much more convenient to use. Strike 1.
It is honestly pretty rare for me to listen to something on my phone. The rare times I do use my headphones with my phone it's because something took out my internet while I was in a voice chat and I just unplug the headset from my laptop and plug into my phone to take my friends with me on whatever adventure it takes to investigate. Strike 2.
I already have a perfectly good headset with 3.5mm. Getting a whole new headset or even an adapter just feels like extra added cost for no real gain. Strike 3.
Bonus round. I can plug a 3.5mm headset into my Nintendo Switch while it's docked. Can't do that with USB-C. It's an odd thing to mention, but I have made use of that enough times to bring up.
Bonus bonus round. I have tried giving bluetooth a chance, but every time I'm massively let down. Initially things sound fine, then the moment I connect to a voice chat it's like I'm listening through water or something. Maybe it's the bluetooth headsets in my price range or maybe it's just bluetooth not being good in general but I can't work with that. I have a hard time with my hearing. I need people to be as clear as possible and I know for sure I get that with a wired headset.
Your last point is just how Bluetooth works. It's not to do with the headsets being cheap. When two way audio is used over Bluetooth, quality drops dramatically because it becomes more compressed.
I think they're fixing that with Bluetooth LE audio but I'm not sure.
