Wow. That's nice of Apple. Just giving away these new adapters and lightning earphones. Huh? People had to BUY them? As in spend more money because their previous products no longer worked with their new phone?
I have one Lightning-to-Jack adapter that was included with my old iPhone 8, and two pairs of EarPods with Lightning plug that were included with subsequent models.
Besides that, the claim was that the headphone jack was removed to force people into buying AirPods. But that claim falls down when there clearly were other, non-Bluetooth options.
I see, perhaps you feel more comfortable with "Strongly coerced" then since you seem to take "forced" very literal.
