Lol, you're trying to mansplain pockets. Literally every time this has come up in conversation I've heard women complain that there aren't any options.

You don't understand, they want to both eat their cake and keep it. They want large pockets, but they also refuse to wear clothes they find ugly, and they find large pockets ugly, hence they wont find any clothes with large pockets since they filter them out before even considering it. But of course if you ask them if they magically want larger pockets they say yes. I'd also want magical pants.

    Advanced electronics have a very high barrier to entry, and are unsuitable as an analogy to the clothing business.
