Not really, even the cheap phones have large screens now. There’s no correlation anymore between price and screen size, the cheap phones just have lower quality panels.

Seemingly only in Japan, though.

Yeah it would be nice to get Movies Anywhere or something fully on board. All the movie studios are sitting on 3D movies already, they just need to make the app(s).

I'm a big green guy.

It is 15 years old, but the "retro" is more about running apps and games from as old as 2001 natively.

Because PCs are worse for living room/controller gameplay, you have to deal with Windows or Linux, and many other factors?

The exact same services? Did YouTube exist in the 1980s?

The Mozilla FUD where I said I like Firefox and pointed out how many of the projects continued in some form after Mozilla ended them?

Modern consoles are pretty great about backwards compatibility. There's room to improve for sure, but an Xbox Series X/S can play all Xbox One/Series games, plus hundreds of 360 and original Xbox games. PS5 is a bit worse with only PS4 backwards compat. The Switch is in the roughest shape, because PowerPC emulator or hardware compatibility wasn't practical with the design or hardware of the original Switch.

They still have the benefit of being a fixed hardware platform with guaranteed compatibility for the games built for them.

Even if official support isn't possible past a certain point (Google and Samsung are pushing 7+ years, fwiw), all phones need to have a bootloader unlock mechanism for unofficial support past that point. LineageOS or mobile Linux with some broken functionality is still better than nothing.
