Not to mention this was during covid when people mostly sat inside and likely didn't prioritize portability.

I can understand people want bigger phones. I just don't get why apple can't make smaller phones anymore, especially for a company that seems to advocate for accessiblity and inclusion. They can make different size tablets. They make different size laptops. Why not phones? It's all large or x-large. People point to the mini but it really didn't do that poorly. It also was released at a weird time right after a cheaper SE model and not to mention all during COVID lockdowns where fewer people would actually touch the phone.

They have no shortage of people wanting to work for them. Why bother taking on a 'difficult' person?

I think you're missing the benefits outside of scalability. There are a lot of native AWS services that help you to quickly prototype and build reliable solutions. A startup saves a lot of money (and time) by not needing to hire a whole devops team to manage various service clusters.

Yeah, maybe. It's still hard for me to envision giving up a 2014 and 2015 MBP. They both work flawlessly and don't compromise on any of the useful features, like having USB A ports, SD card slot, MagSafe, no touchbar, reasonably sized touchpad and so forth.

Yep, and I also remember someone still managed to steal our car. Different times, different methods.

The original SE actually had fantastic battery life. If I recall correctly, better than the larger flagship 6s at the time.

Sad. A380 flights were always the smoothest in my experience.

We have these accidents and pileups constantly without involvement of assisted driving technology. By your logic we should disallow anything that could ever hurt anybody.

I can't relate to this problem either. At 5pm the work computer is turned off. No work apps on my phone. I think people just lack hobbies outside of work so they have nothing better to do than work.

When you don't have to work you're probably more likely to be in a place where you enjoy it. Having said that, I wonder how much work these guys do once they're in these roles and have already proving themselves time and time again. I imagine most of the less satisfying work is delegated away and they get to spend time on whatever they want.
