There is so many things you could do to make things go well on very small devices that would cost almost nothing today, if we decided to adopt interface and software standards to run on durable hardware. Meanwhile phones are always getting faster and faster and always becoming obsolete every year. Throwing software away means we are forced to throw hardware away. I wish that someday we could just decide to stick to a single system and not change things, so that system can last 10 years and work on the same durable phone. It would require making hard choices in OS and software design, but it would be really worth it. I hope a day will come where computers or smartphones will be able to last 10 or maybe 20 years and still be affordable. To be honest I don't think I want to be involved in learning how to develop apps on any phone for those reasons. At least microsoft and linux are able to maintain a minimal amount of backward compatibility. For developers that's really important. You don't have a good ecosystem or a good phone if you cannot attract developers to build apps.
