By all accounts Lightning is coming to the end of its run, even as battery technology improves and costs come down. The issue is going to be cost, and demand. Considering an AirPod is able to provide 5 hours of battery life streaming digital audio and amplifying it for listening, I'd say there's an adapter with a rechargeable battery to meet this need in a reasonably sized package. Be a sport and give her some BT headphones for her bday, you’ll blow her mind. Your daughter doesn’t want an iphone because of wanting to use the legacy port rather than a digital port or using the adapter? lol. Yeah and for that $30 we got a bigger battery, water gaskets, and OIS hardware in the non-plus size in return (as per engineering VP). Despite Tim Cook's proclamations, 3+ years on the 'obsolete' headphone jack is still the standard and from from obsolete.
She also complained that she can't use the same headphones with her laptop and iPhone unless she has the dongle with and has resorted to tying the dongle to a set of 3.5mm headphones. My daughter told me a few weeks ago that she doesn't want an iPhone for her next phone because it's too much of a pain dealing with the dongle for the headphones.

The Anker dongle costs $30 - so that's an extra $30 to get the same functionality we used to have for free with the 3.5mm jack. Totally agree with your comments regarding the connectors, though. The lightning connector is an active device that needs power you can get that from the lightning jack, of course, or a USB C port, but not from a 3.5mm audio jack. It would be really nice but it won't happen. Now if someone would come up with a Lightning headphones to 3.5mm dongle, the transition to Lightning connectors as a replacement for the old headphone jack would be complete. How many years has it been that Apple customers couldn’t use the same pair of Lightning headphones on their iPhone, iPad and MacBook? Even though Apple removed the headphone jack, calling it old technology, and touting the superiority of Lightning, most customers had to resort to using the Lightning to 3.5mm dongle and an old pair of 3.5mm headphones, if they wanted to carry only one set of headphones and be able to connect to both their iPhone and MacBook, let alone any other common audio device. Finally! This should have been available when Apple first removed the headphone jack.
