Either lazy or hit an innovation wall or something in between. It became evident with the introduction of iPhone 7, then reassured with the 8. All these companies can only do and provide in a small package to balance battery life, mobility, processing power, functionality, cameras, etc.
Making a phone bend,flex,foldable, curved only provides the opportunity to incorporate a larger screen to fit in a pocket. Most people do not use or even know their new phone can do so much more, their buy it because the casing is different and it is used as a fashion/status symbol.
In this example I have come across so many iPhone users who did not even know or use the advanced features. The phone was used primarily to text, call, web surf, social media, email, pictures, music and video to a limited extent unless it is the only device their have. Most don’t notice processor speed or ram specs. Battery life, screen brightness and resolution are observable things in day-to-day usage.
All these manufacturers can pack everything and the kitchen sink in this magical device, however most customers use a fraction of its capabilities. There are exceptions (macrumors forum members) however this is the minority technology enthusiast.
