This is also yet another reason as to why ditching the headphone jack on phones is so brain-dead.

Bluetooth seems to be quite hard to secure (or am I mistaken?), is there any decent (simpler) alternative available or on the horizon that could become ubiquitius?

Phones without headphone jacks have digital wired interfaces to which headphones can also be connected.

Sure, but that's not a worthy solution to a portable device.
