You missed the point of having choices that Apple never gives users
(mainly because there are few companies as anti-consumer as Apple is).

Since the rest of the Industry (well, 95%) has adopted the same design
choice, it really isn't as tyrannical of Apple as you're trying to make
it out to be.  It is more indicative of Apple appropriately identifying
a "where the puck is going to be".

You're so desperate to excuse Apple's well-known anti-consumer stance that
you brazen fabricate out of thin air that more than half is, now, only 5%?
 

It would take
some more research to determine if these holdouts are actually still in
production (and for what market segment) or if they're now down to "New
Old Stock" that's still available for sale.

Those were phones on sale at the time that the search was run.

I'm aware of that.  Now go back and check to see how many of those were
actually --> still in production <-- versus being obsolete stock that
was merely still available for sale.

Those are recent figures which you hate because Apple has never supplied
the user with basic hardware functionality that Android always enjoyed.
 

What's relevant is if you're on Android & you want an sd card or an aux
jack or an FM radio, you can extremely easily find a model today with them,
(since about half of Android phones sold today have one or more of them).

Incorrect, because your claim also means ~half have none of these
features too.  And what have all three?  Probably just a tiny fraction.

Once again, you're just not being successful in identifying if any of
these product feature are integral to product success in the, to
demonstrate if Apple's disinclination towards them is "anti-consumer".

Indeed, if they were as much of a "pro consumer"  differentiator as
you're trying to imply, then the fraction of Androids which featured all
three should be quite large.  It isn't.

It's no longer shocking how...
