Mozilla removed a lot of power-user features and customization from Firefox claiming that their telemetry showed that few users used them. That's the reality now, nobody wants to d…

Wouldn't they be liable for not helping law enforcement?

Exaclty. Play Store takes a cut from what it is selling, so they should be more strict what can be sold, not lock the whole platform.

And can you give a number on the "vocal minority"? Because companies usually sell what customers want and if the majority of the phones on the market is big, then that's what peopl…

No economies of scale. Niche things will always be more expensive.

I want my self-driving car to be a better driver than any human. Sure we can drive without LIDAR, but just look up the amount of accidents caused by humans.

Agree, but for me, maybe because I'm so used to not having them that, when I see it, it grabs too much attention. It doesn't feels right.

Here you have selection bias. If you're a US company and you have to bring someone from outside the US, you'll probably bring the better ones and, as someone already said, if they …

Unless you really want it, it's usually better to skip v1 of anything, Apple or not.

Crazy parents don't read books.
