Most customers want to keep the same connector, because they already have chargers and cables, and sometimes even accessories, for it.
USB-C is better in the long run, but that doesn't make it better now.
It'd be trivial to have a 6mm audio port in addition to everything else. It's not about what people want, it's about locking down the HDCP.
They removed the audio port to make it waterproof.
For their own good
