What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?

Brought a 8849 tank 2 by unihertz which has a dual Sim card slot with a SD card slot.... I don't understand this trend of removing things from phones
removing things is also removing manufacturing complexity and reducing the number of points of failure. If it costs $0.13 to add a headphone jack, but an increasingly smaller number of your customers use it, eventually there's a tipping point where removing the feature is worth the grief the company will get from the noisy minority. Your manufacturing run of a million devices just got many thousands of dollars cheaper. Same with removable batteries, SIM slots, and CD drives in laptops, etc.
Leave removable batteries out of that list, that was about planned obsolescence
So now when it fails you need to buy a whole new phone instead of a replacement part. Everybody wins, except the consumer
We as customers don't give a fuck about manufacturing complexity. It's not like the products get cheaper when they remove this shit.
