It’s about time someone pointed this out. Look at all the things phones got rid of in their UI:
(It also gives up a lot of context-based right-clicking, but I personally consider the right-click a bad UI design choice.)
Some things, like folders, are only barely implemented, with a host of features that we’ve had for decades removed. Ever tried to sort a phone group by creation date?
I’m writing this on an iPad, which I would love to use as my daily driver, but because it runs iPad OS, there are so many productivity and organizational features missing relative to Mac OS that I do most important things on the laptop.
I can do every single one of those things in my pixel (or just about any Android phone) if these things actually mattered you would have switched ages ago.
