Still think changing the volume from just being one setting and hard mute switch to the granular ringer/volume and context based approach was a mistake.

I liked I could physical switch kill my phones sound so if you were browsing Twitter or whatever on public transport you knew it would always be muted. Now if you click on a video in most apps it will just ignore the mute and start playing it at likely full volume.

The physical mute switch only seems to truly silence the ringer and the OS overrules it if it thinks you want to listen to video.
