Counterpoint: phones like Redmi 9T have it all. Headphone jack, expandable storage, IR blaster, NFC... Also manages to have an "okay" battery capacity that's 6Ah.

The only problem is it costs too little so people don't consider it.

First, even for Xiaomi that phone is crap with a myriad of software related complaints alone. On the hardware front its cheap because cheap in gets cheap out. Underpowered even for 2021.

Oh I see. I just ...hadn't noticed. Probably because these people are overreacting. But sure, if you need to justify getting a new smartphone, you better spend loads of money to make sure it looks good on benchmarks.
