That's a good point. Thanks. But featurephones are also subsidized, aren't they?

Yes. They're usually free on a contract.

Not that they're that expensive new. But if portability was easy there would even be an omnipresent resale market for used phones, so even boring phones retain resale value, as is common in other countries.

They're about 25 dollars no-strings-attached at Target.
