Oh, it's simple. Believe it or not, I've run into more luddites working in advanced tech/product engineering than anyplace I've ever been! Maybe it's the overly practical nature of a good number of engineers that makes them good implementer and problem solvers, I dunno

In any case, it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that nobody thought of it because "who in their right mind needs a phone with a 7" screen when my flip phone works just fine?".

Just a theory extrapolated from many personal experiences with coworkers that don't get the stuff we are designing...

Despite all that, someone should have caught this tho
