I'm logically aware that's the case for other people, but I find it perplexing why often times. I was sterilized in my mid 20s, and I haven't ever regretted it.

Make this picture a post and I'll upvote it! (I don't want to steal and post it myself, but might if no one else does)
I thought about it, but it seems like battery life would be worse and the resulting device itself would either be bigger or more clumsy (e.g. Steam Deck for the former, GPD systems for the latter)?
I have a first generation Framework 13 mainboard I could hack into my own version of a Steam Deck if I did go that route.
That's not to say I'm not open to suggestions though.
Considering I have a very specific and uncommon (within normal people day to day) type of wallet, no I would not agree. I have been using this style of wallet for almost a decade. No idea if I'm representative though.
One of the cards dangles out, and you do sometimes have to file the SIM tray down a hair (just the tray the slot/phone is not modified at all). A lot of the ribbons have an adhesive back and just enough length to curve around the body of the phone so that it contours the phone and sticks to the back.
Since I kept my phone in a case it was essentially indistinguishable/seamless to me.
Below is a link to an example of the adapter I'm talking about.

So technically if a phone has a dual SIM slot where the second slot is shared between SD card or SIM, you can still use both SIMs and an SD card. There are little adapter ribbons that allow you to do so. One of my previous phones was a Huawei Mate 8 that I did that with.
And yet they still probably won't allow any third party app to have access to RCS via an API. FFS.
If you work in certain fields of engineering then you have to pass a drug test. The only job I have had where I wasn't drug tested was my hourly IT job before getting my degree. I have never had to give out social information and I never would.
I would add a caveat to your statement. It might not be just through a lawsuit but the threat of a lawsuit. A lawsuit will cost big money, but having a lawyer right the company a letter shouldn't cost more than a couple of hundred bucks. Most people give up immediately and that's what they are counting on. Worst case scenario is what? Tack a couple of hundred on to the thousands you will already owe? Basically a drop in a bucket.
Also, as scummy as the profession and some lawyers are, there are plenty who just want to do right by people. I have only paid a lawyer once, but I have talked to around half a dozen in my life time with questions about the law and some of the issues I was having. One or two probably spent at least a couple of hours on me over the course of a month or two when you factor in the initial 20-30 minute conversation, reading the documents I put together, and answering some of my follow up emails, and despite my insisting they charge me, they were insistent on not doing so.
(I suspect because in many of the situations what was happening to me was morally wrong, but legally more or less fine just barely grazing the gray area, and taking payment for their time could be construed as them acting as legal counsel as opposed to just answering some questions)

Let's make some fuckin' bacon!!!!
Not OP, but no actually. My degree is an ABET accredited B.S. and I had to take about a years worth of classes (over the course of the four years) that had nothing to do with my degree (e.g. psychology, sociology, philosophy, etc.) Their "rational" was that it was to make students more well rounded human beings and members of society.
While I appreciate the sentiment in theory, I have to disagree with it in practice. For people like me that find those topics interesting already it seemed like a waist of time and money. While I did learn some new concepts it's mostly stuff I had already learned in my free time or would have come across sooner than later. For most of the other people (who tend to be uncurious outside of their specific niche skill set or interests) most of the information and lessons end up being lost on them as it doesn't really stick.
I'm sure they were some people it was beneficial for, but I doubt it was the majority.
Then again I'm not sure my view of the college experience was very typical. I was basically taking care of myself in some capacity by middle school and got a full time job during highschool in IT after my junior year via the trade program. I was living on my own and working full time while going to school full time. I'd go from work where the next youngest coworker was 10 years older than I was and people twice my age respected my opinion and person to classes where I was treated like an irresponsible child.
However, I would then over hear or observe other students taking about how surprised they were by various aspects of living away from home or "being an adult" and I couldn't help but just think ".... yeah that shouldn't be surprising, are you dumb?" (never said out loud or to them, I knew I was in the minority with my experience, but it was surprising).

And yet on Android Google hasn't opened an API for any other app to use RCS, so users are forced to use the Google Messages app. It's really irritating the hypocrisy.
