I don't know why. I said many choices are focused on user-perceived performance, not all of them. Refresh rate only really makes a case for performance in games. In everyday tasks, like scrolling, it's more about aesthetics and comfort. Also, their scrolling on 60Hz looks better than scrolling on Android at 60Hz. They know this. Why they didn't prioritize using 120Hz screens is out of my knowledge. Also, you lack attention. These we're merely examples to expand on the idea of bloat versus technical debt. I am answering out of kindness and in the spirit of sharing my perspective to point the thread in a more positive discussion.

  You lack attention. It matters for comfort in everything. It matters for performance on games much more. Most users don't even know about refresh rate, they just know their iPhones feels good. They don't let you scroll as fast as Android does, which makes the flickering disorienting sensation of speed scrolling in a low refresh rate less prominent. It optimizes for comfort given the hardware they opted to use. Android lets you scroll faster, and it does not adjust the scrolling dynamics according to the refresh rate setting. It's optimized for the high end models with 120Hz or more, so it sucks on low end settings or phones. Some people take years to understand those things. It requires attention.

  Battery life? Temperature? Price-to-performance ratio? These are not decisions that are solved as simply as decreeing "every device must have at least 3000Hz refresh rate."

    I have heard that battery life is the primary reason. After all, it is screen and modem that consumes most of it. Could be about 20% worse battery life. https://www.phonearena.com/news/120Hz-vs-60hz-battery-life-comparison-samsung-galaxy-s20-ultra-plus_id122967 https://www.phonearena.com/news/120Hz-vs-60hz-battery-life-c...
