The most important reason is that most consumer devices like smartphones and laptops come with a 3.5mm audio jack. People can simply connect these devices to the speaker using an AUX cable without any hassle, and it will work. Also, when you consider the prices of the alternatives, AUX is very low. And because the connector pin is quite small, you can easily carry a jack cable in your pocket. Read this article to find out more about them.

3.5mm audio jack, also called auxiliary cables or AUX cables, has been the standard for audio output and input in computer audio devices for over a century.
