I pay attention to that stuff. Would it be better if more people shopped thoughtfully? Sure. But it’s not “nobody” and if manufacturers know that such and such a metric impacts sales by even 5% then they’ll probably try to improve it.

Cars have 0-60, mpg or range, engine size etc, why not the same for a phone.
You clearly have no clue how little the average car buyer researches before going to a dealership.
