So, it's probably 0.1 *0. 001of users who would value a focus on email work flow.
Of this (very rough estimate) of one in ten thousand users, most don't have any experience of using anything but Android or iOS, so they just accept what they have, then "move to their computer" because their phones aren't great at high volume email.
That's kind of my point. The original BlackBerry users were primarily senior leaders who needed email 10-16 hours a day while away from their desks in meetings and traveling. The ONLY use for their BlackBerrys was work communications, as they weren't even able to load personal email accounts. So, the phone's systems and applications were designed for that work flow.
Today, there's no market for a phone that exclusively prioritizes work communications, and the Android and iOS teams don't even support that work flow because it's not what drives revenue. So, their email use cases are much less intense than those of vintage BlackBerry users like me.
Being an outlier in terms of intensity for a service (email) that does not make developers any money means that Android and iOS don't give a damn about my problems and it shows. That's the whole point I was making in the first place, and why I continue to use an older system that was designed for my use case.
