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.
I don’t disagree with you there. Except Apple already tried it by making the iPhone Mini with the same specs as the standard model, yet few people actually bought it. Same with Sony. Those sizes just aren’t popular anymore, and very few hardware makers are going to build a device for a small but vocal group.

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.
