the CEO has his own idea of how people should be using their phones and is pushing that.

He does and he is. I've watched Perifractic's channel for awhile and he is really very strident about "digital detox" on account of his smartphone use negatively effecting his mental health. This phone is made for Peri specifically; he just happens to be selling it.

(Which I'm fine with, by the way. I hope it does well; I'd like to see the new Commodore stick around a little longer.)

I mean the iPhone was what Steve Jobs wanted.

If there’s a market for it then leave them to it
