Most customers want to keep the same connector, because they already have chargers and cables, and sometimes even accessories, for it.

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.
