I am sorry, that is the worst "explanation" I have ever seen on HN...

  Why? The company that makes these phones, HMD Global, is part-owned by Foxconn. They wanted to create a line of affordable phones quickly, so of course they use their existing expertise and manufacturing lines. Experimenting with design has very limited payoffs in the phone market these days (ask HTC), and retooling at Foxconn's scale is very expensive. Design innovation wouldn't be worth it.

    You are making things up. According to people who seen the phones the are similar to the old Lumia line by Nokia. Guess why that is??
