While those algorithms all have weaknesses they are not yet completely broken and are still in wide (if declining) use. TLS 1.0 is most affected by BEAST but all modern clients have mitigations that have proven to be effective against it.

This probably has to do with the historic split between 2G/3G technologies among the major cellular carriers in the US. In the US if you want or need true nationwide coverage (say you are selling a retail IoT device and your customers

My Blackberry Priv lets me select any combination of LTE, 3G, and 2G. I currently have it set to use LTE and 3G only. That's the only phone I've seen with that feature, though.

Am I the only one who actually uses caps-lock for its intended purpose on a regular basis? I use it pretty much any time I have to type more than two capital letters in a row, which is frequently when I'm programming.
