>It's not gonna be surprising at all considering the general market's gonna be looking for convenience first and foremost.

so much this.

>as long as audio companies have a say in the matter, as well as tech companies in general

uhmmm I disagree, most big headphones companies are getting bought out by even bigger tech companies, and these companies don't give a damn, they will produce whatever it's more popular with people, and push what it makes more money, in this case, wireless products. I don't think we're going to see any audio company defending wired products at all, if anything they will be ditching them "in silence" while they pretend that they still care for that reduced market (they don't lol)
