I understand. I had an HTC for three years about 6 years ago. Everything apple now retuning to my roots from 1986 when i bought a MAC+ The HTC was good phone. I am not much of a gear head and I find the different Ohs to be easy to use and learn and the phones do way more than i ned them to do. i use about 6 apps most of the time.
You’re actually the typical smartphone user, since most people don’t use that many apps, and don’t use many of the hardware features on their phones. Which goes to show that the high-end phones are not really needed for the typical user, and are actually way overpriced for what people use them for.
But, there will always be the people who purchase the “greatest-and-latest” just for bragging purposes.
