That's a particular UCM configuration that someone has created, someone
with a different set of use cases might create a different UCM setup (or
not use UCM at all).  This is a large part of the point of having use
case configuration in userspace.

Again, you're describing a specific configuration - someone might want
to do something different.

There being two different GPIOs sounds like it just allows the headphone
and speaker to be controlled separately - that seems more flexible, not
a problem?
