>> Who is it trying to appeal to?

To me. I want to have access to whatsapp/browser but with constraints of T9 so that I am not tempted to jump from website to website or write a lot.

And I want a phone that does not look like the most lazy thing a company could possibly do with 0 design effort put into it.

It is not appealing to you, because it specifically blocks the installation of browsers, so 50% of what you just stated as your needs would jot be covered (and cannot be done afterward by yourself, again, they BLOCK the installation of browsers).
