> A huge portion of the world only has 1 computer and it's their phone.

If those people wish to use phones for something they're not suited for, that's their business. But companies can, and should, have more than one product for different use cases. Nobody says "well only 5% of the market wears this size clothes so you better get used to going naked", instead manufacturers make all different sizes so as to capture more profits. I don't even particularly care if the smaller phone costs more because it's not as much in demand (so, less economy of scale). The problem is that nobody makes one at all, so I can't get what I want at any price whatsoever.

Either all phone companies are stupid and leave money on the table, or nobody buys small phones.

a bit further down from the main stream, there are some fringe chinese manufacturers like unihertz doing small phones..
