IDK about you, but I’ve wanted a “do it all” device since I was a kid, so the “phablet” form factor appealed to me immediately. I can manage my entire home network from my Pixel 9 Pro XL, including SSH, Dockers, and remoting into VMs.
That, and look what size most phones are these days. Most people want the bigger models.
Did it stop being a pain in the ass when it became common?

Yeah, but the vocal minority would rather all phones conform to their preferences instead.
Realistically, though, there should definitely be more variety in the market… but capitalism hates variety, so it doesn’t happen.
