Seems pointless to add a feature that barely anyone would use, that's the reality.

Your honour, this is conjecture! If we're gonna play this game then I'll point out that the "barely anyone" who would use such a feature might very much overlap the "barely anyone" who is the target market for a fairphone.

The point is that it can be very costly for a small company like FP to break the mold too much from the industry standards when designing the phone and ordering the parts and assembly. If FP had a bigger volume, they could do it.

You're arguing that fairphone of all companies won't or can't go against industry standards?
