Yes, in those days, bluetooth wasn't as common as it is now, but I still haven't found bluetooth earphones that I liked (both price and form!) And yes, I do charge my phone wirelessly, but I don't always have my wireless charger with me (which are most often the times I'll be using my phone as MP3 player) and I'd like to be able to charge and listen at the same time.

Wireless tech is all a work in progress.
USB-C audio hasn't even started.
