No. I had jumped to BT long before Apple* first dropped the hole. I hate cords; I hate the tangle and snagging. It’s another lever with which to break a connection on the circuit board, and another ingress for water.
I know audio is better over cords, but I don’t hear the difference, so the convenience won for me.
I just discovered that my phone sometimes autocorrects “Apple” to “asshole.” Fun.
I feel like if I ever become an audiophile, I’ll probably be looking at getting a separate music player with a DAC, a Tidal subscription, and a pair of kickass wired headphones. But for now, I’m mostly listening to podcasts and for music I use Spotify for it’s discovery features, and their audio quality is subpar already. Even if I had a headphone jack, I’m not really benefiting from superior sound quality but I am getting frustrated with tangled cords and getting caught on doorknobs. I’ll take the convenience of Bluetooth, especially while working out. And Bluetooth standards have been getting better anyway, in a few years it might be on par with wired.

I mean same difference, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been dabbling with audio stuff and I just decided headphones are for mobility, a home speaker setup is for quality.
Holding that thought simplified a lot of purchases for me.
Some Bose qc35 are more.than good enough, given my use specifications.
