Honestly, I don't get the hype for dual front facing speakers. I rarely listen to videos / music with out headphones. Same with using a speakerphone function.Usually that gets used while I am running or something, have the headphones on and a call comes through. I thought it was a good idea when the first HTC phone had them, then realized just how little they got used.
As far as the 3.5mm jack, I'm not a fan of losing them until a vendor comes out with a less complicated and easily as cheap option for earphones. Having to mess with an extra dongle just doesn't stick it for me.
Before someone points out that there are wireless earbuds, I'm not into wearing what amounts to a dog collar for wireless some earbuds ( admit it, you've had the thought when you see someone wearing those goofy things).
I was giving serious thought to a new Pixel, but that feature ( or lack there of) nicks it for me.
