Except when it didn’t. The cables got tangled, caught, kinked and broken. Sure, the well-made ones didn’t threaten to detach from the buds. But well-made wireless headphones don’t suffer the problems you mention.

I suppose we should also require everything play vinyl?
Wireless headphones have an expiry date, when the battery is completely out you have to throw them away. Up to this date I haven't witnessed a single pair of earbuds that its battery can be easily replaced. Attempting to do so might break them beyond repairability. So is not only that is the wireless thing, is that these are also built so if you attempt to open them you break them, this for me is another reason not to buy them. I do own a pair of wired Audio Technica headphones. Since 2016 they have experienced use almost every day. I do still use them to this very day. Only thing I have to do is replace the earpads from time to time.

They seem to work well for you. I respect that choice. That doesn’t mean it has to be compatible without an adapter with every device on the market. (In the same way every device shouldn’t have to support wireless headphones.)
