For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

I don't use them and I'm pretty sure overwhelming percentage of the user base doesn't use them either. Because I've yet to see an argument I'm buying this phone because it has a range finder. All these extra cameras hardware are forced onto us because of the social media/selfie craze. As for your personal usage case I can understand you're using range finder and measuring options but they are not utilizing different cameras. They are using phone sensors like gyroscope, acceleration, gps and algorithms not your different cameras.
As a side note you yourself admit that it's not something you needed but found out and did even trust it.
No one looks for a rangefinder because they don't need to care about the technical details. They only know that one phone takes better photos than another. That it's because the phone has a laser rangefinder doesn't matter.
No one looks for one because they don't need it. Companies adding extras doesn't mean it's better for the end user nor they need it in case they are your in-laws and what good picturs of their grandchildren... Neither your bullshit argument about people don't look for range finders because it's already in the product.

24% of Android users value camera quality above all other features. For the majority of phone users, camera quality is an important factor.
You are the outlier that doesn't care about camera quality at all.
WOW... 24% you don't say!!! It must mean that remaining 76% doesn't give a fuck and paying extra for the shit they don't use or don't need... How am I so blinded by my ignorance to see this!
24% of Android authority users. 24% of the most technical users in the world still pick the camera as the only important feature they look at in a new phone.

Android police, again self selected to the most technical users in the world: only 10% said camera wasn't important.
iPhone users represent the majority of US phone users. How many iPhone users are going to read and reply to an Androidpolice poll?
You claimed your Note 4, with a single sensor and lens system on the back, is better. You claimed you didn't see a need for multiple cameras. I explained, (and can offer objective test results) how the 3 cameras on the back of my phone are better than the single Note 4 camera.
