At this point, if people still decide to go ahead and buy a Zenphone even after all of this, then they deserve to get what's coming for them

I disagree with you last point.

If it wasn't the default, people with poor vision would most likely wouldn't even know how to activate it by themselves.

Most regular users, especially older ones that are more prone to these conditions, aren't technically savvy enough to rummage through app settings to learn how to toggle accessibility features.

They'd just try to put on reading glasses and then struggle to use the app as it is.

I think it makes more sense to have sensible defaults like that be activated and make it opt-out for those that don't like it

Maybe the argument is to aid the people who have poor vision

That's kind of a moot point seeing how it will be adopted by 100% of phones at one point (except for phones which are out of support, but those won't get used at all after a certain point)

The good thing about open source is that anyone can contribute.

Yeah, you won't make any money out of it, but if your goal isn't to make money, then you can team up with others to create your own Android dialer from scratch and that will be adopted.

There's no vendor lockins possible

Not to burst your bubble but SMS is even less secure than WhatsApp. In fact, SMS is among the least secure communication avenues on a phone, since your telecommunications provider has the ability to keep logs of what you send, when you send it and to whom you send it to.

Not to mention how insecure 4G is and how easy it is to intercept other people's messages

Also for streaming.

Streaming on a phone (even a 6.6 inch phone) is annoying.

The screen is too small for comfort and it's very difficult to make out small details which are important that are shown literally onscreen
