This reminds me about the death of SMS. MMS had multimedia attachments, it was practical and powerful. But analysts forgot that one was for sending pictures and the other for text, and that one isn't replaceable by the other. The same thing with non-smartphones (dumb-phones, feature-phones, whatever you want to call them). They fill a purpouse for a lot of people. Not only in developing countries, but with people that don't need a smart OS. To be fair, outside of apps, most dumbphones can do a lot of things a smartphone can, but people don't know or don't want to use those features.
