Used it once to debug an audio problem, haven't used wired headphones since years
Yes
Admittedly I tend to always see as a bad thing whenever I see phone models without headphone jacks, that said for the last five years I've been using phones without headphone jacks and using the wired headphones they came with is enough for the few times I need to use them.
I bought a used phone and needed good low light camera for documentation of network closets, so I had to compromise on the wish for a headphone jack. Now I got an adapter that I use at home to use my headphones for calls. On the go I have noise cancelling equipment that uses bluetooth anyway. It would still be more handy to have the jack built in.

Didn't vote because doing so would require either individually clicking hundreds of opt outs or just living with them forcing me to agree to them doing whatever they want with my data (which is not only not following the spirit of the EU regulations, it's not actually following the letter of them either.)
I would never buy a phone without a headphone jack if possible. If doing so would mean a drastic consession on other areas I'd have to live with a dongle to use headphones but I'd really rather not.
I bought a new smartphone a few months back and I didn't realize it doesn't have a headphone jack until recently. That was the first instance when I wanted to use it. But it turned out that BT was supported in that case too.
I absolutely see how removing jack is a problem for some people, but there is also a significant group which couldn't care less. I haven't used wired headphones in years.
I want it
Literally every day
Yes unless both my phone and headphone support LE Audio.
I really want the feature, I'll keep buying phones with headphone jacks as long a s I can.
I have too many pairs of headphones and have been buying more wired ones rather than Bluetooth as they just don't last as long (they are convenient, I'll admit).
The 3.5mm Jack is just so handy to have ratger than a dongle (SD card for storing all the music helps too).

Nope. AirPods.
I personally don't use sound/videos not at home
Mine doesn't have a headphone jack but Xiaomi did provide a Type C to Headphone jack adapter in the box. It would have been better to have it embedded in the phone itself. But now, what happens is I don't use the phone while it's charging. So good enough for me.
No.
I stopped using wired headsets loooong before they started taking them off...my HP iPaq had Bluetooth and my iPod didn't--that's when I bought my first Bluetooth headset.
Rarely. I do have a pair of Buds Live tho
I have an adapter that splits so I can charge my phone while I talk on a headset while working. Does that count?
No.
The relationship I have work my phone is that I don't necessarily have a phone that I can use as a music player, as much as I have a music player/internet device that I can call with.
