To play devil's advocate, there is a security angle to it if you want marginally better, if you're not concerned with loading your phone with functionality.
Somewhat beyond anything I'd personally tolerate, and I'd likely sooner just get a feature phone or use a computer for necessary applications that needed that degree of security, if I couldn't get it from an alternative OS. But I do leave room for it not to always be a 100% stupid idea.
But yes, the vast majority, I have to scratch my head over. I've long characterized Apple devices in the way I first heard from Sean Kennedy, of RantMedia: Fisher-Price computers. Round corners, so you don't gouge out anyone's eyes, and childproofed in just about every way they could think of. Great if that's what you're going for (I'm certainly not letting my 80 year old mom try carrying around an Android device), but utterly intolerable if you're trying to do something Tim Apple didn't intend.
That said, Google blocking Miracast support on the Pixel is definitely them learning a piece of the wrong lesson. PinePhones really would do well to get development going faster.
