What's more likely to happen now is that the next Samsung phone also doesn't come with a headphone jack.

Do you really think Samsung is going to look at the influx of Samsung smartphone purchases in reaction to the iPhone 7's shittiness and all the memes calling out Apple's bullshit and think "You know what we need to do? Follow Apple's example and remove the audio jack."?

Depends if it sells. If the iPhone 7 sells well, then Samsung might consider doing the same; remove the audio jack and sell its own wireless earphones.

I personally trust Samsung not to do it since they are more about utility than focussing on sleekness like Apple, but in the world of capitalism, anything that's successful should be treated as such and considered on the drawing board.

Samsung is smart enough to know that they can sell wired or wireless headphones.

Why the fuck not? They removed the removable battery and user expandable memory. Samsung are just as bad at removing feature as what Apple are..

Well to be fair they did add the latter back later.

That's provided that happens. If this causes more people to switch to Samsung, or another smartphone, that would be great. But you can't stop Apple sheep from buying whatever crap Apple throws at them.
