The picture of the phone, adapter and headphone cable is a bit misleading. If someone MUST use wired headphones, that adapter never has to come off of them. So you plug the headphones into the lightning cable...so what?
I have not used wired headphones with my phone for some time. Those that do, are stubbornly holding on to the past. A set of over the ear noise cancelling headphones gets battery life of up to 20 hours. In ear blue tooth headphones up to 12. My phone can stay in my backpack or pocket while I control it with my watch.
The fuss over this is really just whining for the sake of whining.
