People will really accept anything they do and bully the ones who don’t want to submit. That’s impressive! And we’re in a place with higher-than-average corporation haters.
I don’t see it that way at all. Would I personally like to see the headphone jack return? Sure. But there are about 5,002 more important issues when it comes to tech corporations (Ie. privacy, repairability, software support, obsolescence, etc… just to name a few). People aren’t defending corporations as much as they are “picking their battles”.
Your headphone jack battle is inconsequential and frankly kind of stupid in the larger scheme of the war right now. Would it be great to get to a point where all the battles are won and all we have to worry about is a damn headphone jack? Absolutely. But we’re not there.
So, are people picking their battles by practically bullying others into thinking they’re wrong and outdated? They could simply ignore people talking about phone jacks, but they don’t. They’re not picking battles. They’re actively fighting, and on the corps’ side.
Also, there’s always a bigger battle. If we think like this, no one will ever do anything. Corporations don’t go all in. They take things away from us one small step at a time, and people allow it, because they’re always small things, but just like boiling frogs, we will end up into a cyberpunk era.

The more you ignore the smallest bad changes , the more they will be confident to ruin all the bigger issues you mentionned
