Inexperience does not always equal stupidity. Not only is this a TRS jack, but has 2 internal switches (normally closed), one on the tip, one on the ring. Thus the 5 pins.
The schematic representation for that jack would be diagram XII on the attached page.
And they get much more complicated than that. Switchcraft has a whole other page of more complicated type jacks, this is the "simple" page.
