You can't charge your phone and use your USB headphones at the same time, without a dongle.

If this isn't a use case for you, you should understand that it is a use case for others, and it's a problem that was solved before manufacturers forced it on it. Give me two USB ports and maybe I'll be satisfied, though I'm sure others still have a use case for 3.5mm and will still need a dongle...
