But it works better than xlr and 2.5 and is now widely implemented

XLR works better than 4.4. Any form of TRS connectors will momentarily short one or more contacts when (dis)connect. Not a problem for XLR.

2.5 prone to bending - I baby my gear and this has never happened.

I imagine DAP designers secretly hating 4.4mm. To me, the bigger socket takes up valuable space in the DAP chassis / PCB.

You said it yourself that 2.5 bends too easily, and xlr is massive, 4.4 is a decent middle ground, and if dap manufactures put even 3 or 4 jacks on a dap, I don’t think it’s a tremendous issue
