Unfortunately, the main line Pixels haven’t had an audio port since the very first pixel in 2016. The affordable (-a) series held out until 2021 with the 5a being the last model with a port.
If anything, I’d be curious if the rising cost of storage makes Google (or other flagships) cave on expandable storage with the next model.
Quite the opposite. The reason they got rid of it in the first place was to push people into paying monthly for cloud storage. Rising hardware prices just makes that easier.

Nah. Whoever wants more than base can pay up. Having stuff worth storing is a premium service.
