> I don't think you can state phones are general purpose computers, and then complain about the 'vocal minority' that want the things that enable that. I did not complain about anyone. I belong to several of those minority groups myself. But they are without a doubt vocal minorities. > Try writing a document or do some programming on a phone. If it's a general purpose computer, a physical keyboard is a reasonable expectation. You can program on a phone. It isn't a good experience but nothing about the term "general purpose" suggests it is good at everything. I could point out how my desktop is awful at taking pictures or phone calls, but it's still considered a "general purpose" computer. Form factor has nothing to do with it.
