Interesting concept. I think there is a market for these types of devices, catering to niches in the market. A phone for liberals, a phone for conservatives, and a phone for...everyone else?? "Tongue in cheek" maybe but I am surprised that phones are not being built and sold to narrower markets, for example sports fans. A phone made to watch, read, and engage in sports.

Just because we can doesn’t mean we should.
Narrower market phones by OEMs sounds like it’ll lead eventually to the ‘Easter phone’ or ‘mothers days phone’ — rampant consumerism with bad experiences that wind up in a garage sale, thrift store or land fill.
Better to have a quality product with custom case imho.

Is there no market available for these?
