Because they are expensive. More importantly, how often does the function of a button is changed? Top right corner button on android is usually a back button (arrow/ x) or a profile icon. How often does a bottom navigation in an app change? Dashboard is an app that rarely changes.
I will do you one better. The screen in the button goes out. If the button changes the display based on the context, what does the button do? Is software responsible to recognize it cannot display an action and do something? What does it do? Should the user be responsible to remember what does the button do based on the context? This article is about return to physical buttons because they are reliable. Do you see any button on your cars dashboard that is unlabeled? Do you remember looking up in a manual what a weirdly iconed button does? On any piece of hardware.
This is from users perspecrtive alone.
Lets do the manufacturer. Imagine that screen buttons have SKUs. Dashboards have SKUs. Screen buttons have versioned drivers. Screen buttons need power delivery. Data lanes on pcbs. And fuck else.
Now imagine that you have a physical button. It costs cents. It closes one lane. Maybe needs power for a led.
Who the fuck wants screen buttons?
Finally. What the fuck multiple screen buttons solve that a single screen that can be any number of any buttons couldnt?
Because sure as fuck they wont solve for context, clarity and reliablity.
Ah yes, he complemented demagoguery with sharp demagoguery.

This is an act so he stays in the media.
well Russians arent into saying what their pronouns are, must be a Westerner".
One thing they don't realise is that people don't consider themselves "Westerners" in the "West".
Ofcourse not! I identify as NATOan
That's fascism and imperialism for you. Everyone is an enemy and they belong to the same group. Weak and ever-present.
The whole nation starved due to policies in places and people in power.
As in Stalin and stallinist party.
Yes, precisely right. When compared to military precission weapons. That start at tens of thousands.
And I gave as real of a number as possible, so there are no idiots thinking an fpv drone costs 35 bucks. Even if it has to fly once.
Analog fpv drone is at least €150 when produced on a mass scale. Parts alone.
This is nowhere near 35 bucks cheap.
Fascism.
He is pandering to fascists.
You laugh but I seriously think people should be getting a cut if they are building a non-open LLM by commenting.
Member how people defended free price of gmail? I member.
WHERE ART THOU MISSILES, PONTIUS?!
Book of Warfare 21:37
It is the same book where Jesus walks into the Frisian temple (or something) gurgles Weapons free and starts laying into them merchants selling vapes and abortions.
Old man scared for his position is fearmongering.
Spoken like a true non-developer.
Kills what? Firefox? There are at least 3 ongoing forks of FF right now. They cannot unopen source the code they already delivered.
He is fronting money for development. Which is not cheap.
Once dev cost stabilizes, I would love to have a better split for artists.
