I like this comparison:

the USB-C port is about the same height as the headphone jack, meaning little would be gained by switching to a USB-C only solution.
Of course, we don't know how much space inside the port a USB-C would require vs. a Lighting port.
Like the diagrams showed, the headphone jack took up some volume inside the phone.
