There are X number of things a phone with the aux jack can do.
There are fewer than X number of things a phone without it can do.

Correct.

But that's mostly irrelevant, since there are many people out there who

If *all* people would *need* an aux jack in a smartphone, they would
never buy devices without it. But this is not the case - iPhones are
still sold in big numbers as well as many Android phones without an aux

It seems, people are fine with inferior phones. Since the don't need the
superior functions. Similar to the fact, that not everybody needs a big
station wagon even if that is superior to the small car and can do
things, you can't do with the small car.

For example, a small car is useful in European busy cities, can be parked in small spaces, while a big car is impossible. May be impossible to maneuver inside some old parking lots! :-D

LOL :-)
Good thing Arlen hasn't spotted this one :-)
I have owned cars with 2 or 4 doors. A 2 door one can be smaller, but some models you can buy in both versions. It is also said that a 2 door car is stronger (in case of a crash).
As always, there are a bunch of reasons that make either version preferable to the buyer.
