There are products like the pinephone or what have you and they aren't very successful, because most people demand convenience and not seeming weird to their peer group, both understandable impulses even as they lead us astray.
The government isn't stopping manufacturers from making phones with bigger batteries and headphone jacks.
@invaderDJ @Porous_gray_matter. SBCs and their recent popularity show there IS a demand, as well as the existence of the pinephone period. I'm not convinced either. The government, -especially the USA's undeniably has a vested interest in keeping versatile, powerful technology out of reach for most.
