Miniaturizing a QWERTY keyboard is a waste of space. Physical buttons do, however, add a lot of value to a phone. Apple was not correct about key input, just as they were not correct to remove the TRRS audio jack. They make a lot of decisions that force the market towards where they want it to be, and then people put up with it because they feel they have no viable alternatives. Those who say they like what Apple does might just be loving the one they're with, because they can't have what they love.
