       @rose I think this reflects a cultural bias privileging vision over other senses. This comes out in technology in other ways, for example the resources put into photo & video software versus audio software. Or how audio quality in normative technology has decreased in the last decade (especially because of Bluetooth -- in no small part due to its forcible imposition via removing headphone jacks -- and streaming) while screens and videos keep getting more pixels shoved into them.

       @rose It's just bizzare to me how phones of today became all about cameras. Flagship devices became totally unattractive to me as the only thing they have that is undisputably better than in midrange devices is the camera — the thing I need the least in my phone. Now I'm on midrange phone that has 8 Gb RAM, 256 Gb of UFS 3.1 storage + SD card slot, SoC that is still so powerful that I never use it, 5000 mAh battery and a 🎧 jack — zero incentive to upgrade. Camera is meh, but I don't care 🤷
