And it's also a pile of shit compared to an iPhone or a Galaxy S device.

There's your real issue right there. People are already paying $1199 for new phones. According to this article: https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/9/13/17851052/apple-ipho...

Another $100. That's a little over six years old now though, so bump it up to $200.

Would I pay $1399 for an American made iPhone with American made internals, as the article suggests it would cost ($100, but I doubled it for inflation, because, why not?)? You bet your sweet ass I would.
