I see where you're coming from but it's definitely not that simple.

An extreme example would be "I carry my laptop with me because I need a clock, and I hate how bulky affordable laptops are because I carry it with me all the time."

Sure, I mean, your laptop functions as a clock. That doesn't make it anywhere close to the best device for the job. Is telling you to get a watch or a phone to tell time instead "duct taping over the things you don't like" about the laptop? No, it's suggesting that the real solution to your problem is to get the best device for the job.

Phones are similar. Do they work as fitness bands? Sure. But larger form factor phones bring tons of benefits, and their design shouldn't be constrained by the needs of those using them as fitness bands, just like the needs of laptop users shouldn't be constrained by those that use them as a clock.

I'm solution oriented, and waiting in vain for phones to suddenly become smaller again isn't a solution, it's basically just pouting.
