What is it with batteries? What is so difficult with charging overnight? That is 8 hours. No need for a battery-damaging fast charger.
Just fit bigger batteries, reducing the cost of the charging technology.
And make them easier to replace so the phone lasts longer.
Bent edge screens are a curse.
Longer and narrower screens are a curse. Journalists berated long phones due to chins and foreheads making the phone too tall, but 21:9 screens are even more stupidly long.
Anyone who uses full screen photos should realise that all this does is crop the top and bottom of a 4:3 ratio full sensor photo. It gains nothing. It looks wider but is no different.
Stick-out camera modules are damaging to pockets.
Glass backs are too easily cracked.
So we need a case to protect the cameras and the glass; so there is no earthly reason not to have a plastic back!

The essence of this sentence is not what it says but the false conjunction included...
* "No small affordable smartphones"
The real problem is that less huge devices that can be used fully with one hand by most people are generally only made in 'affordable' variants and not as 'flagships'.
With for many years Sony being almost the sole exception. Though aPple seem to finally try to revert this silly trend with their 2020 line

All these trends are awful but customers allow them to continue by buying the products that have (or don't have) those features.
The only way things change in a retail environment is by sales numbers, vote with your wallet.
When only Samsung shipped a curved display, the infamous Galaxy S6 Edge it sold so well everybody did it - that's how it works and that's why we now have curved, punch holed, no SD card, no headphone jack, novelty cameras, sealed battery, lower quality unexciting phones.

Sometimes cheap phones have more functionality than expensive phones (3.5mm jack, microsd card slot, ir blaster etc). So why do people insist on buying more expensive phones?

I despise companies that market a “48MP Quad Camera” when really there’s one usable camera; 48MP 2/0” sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultra wide (subpar resolution for ultra wide), 2MP depth sensing and 2MP macro.

Much like how they're the only options to keep the headphone jack on premium flagship phones alive, I certainly believe that they won't remove the chargers from the box either.
Sadly, people always underestimate them and ignore their efforts for giving users the important things that they really need in a smartphone.

A phone can have a plastic back while still having a metal chassis (e.g. Galaxy Note 4, Moto X Force). Having a plastic chassis makes the phone more fragile so it's not ideal for expensive flagships.
