Why should we as developers target plebes who can’t afford to buy $1000 dollar devices and opt for platforms that start at a fraction of that, ie the majority of the world.
iPhone SE is cheaper than many Android phones, and will last much, much longer. Most people only get 2 years out of an Android phone because of how poorly designed the OS is. So, no, it's not a luxury item.
Apple makes what is easily the best value of any mobile device with the SE line, and I already called out that you can support Android for reasons other than raw profit.
Maybe save the childlike angst for when you have an actual point.
