With how stable my new WiFi 6 router is for me, personally I don't feel the need for ethernet anymore even for gaming.
So I have no issue if I buy a laptop that can be thinner without RJ45
Will I appreciate it if they still manage to fit it? Sure, a little bit? But it's definitely not a make or break decision for me.
Same case with headphone jacks, I love the benefits of wireless enough to ignore the benefits wired bring, so my purchase decision isn't considering a headphone jack, sure if a phone I have has it, it'll be a nice little thing, but I'll probably not be using it.
