You can ask the same question of the US. They're the only ones to have actually used them (and they try to justify it still). For all those who are about to reply saying it was justified because it saved American lives, why didn't

They were slowing down to the point of unusable. I had a Galaxy S3 from 2012 to 2024, then got a hand me down Galaxy S9 for free. I don't like that I can't remove the battery, but it's got a SD card so I don't have to wo

My wife has gone through a large number of iPhones in the past 14 years, where as I've had a total of 2 android phones. Way easier to repair, and add software well past the end of life date.

We have a test team that runs various test suites(automated) and manual testers that test functionality. They spend their entire working day, every day testing.

why wouldn't you use those limited resources to test things before they go to production, instead of creating more crappy things that go to production?
