Less bending overall results in less failures?

Also it would be hard to talk on a floppy phone

Make it so it has no speaker or microphone, and then you don't have that problem and can sell more wireless earbuds.

Tangentially, you also solve a security/privacy concern.

Heck, make the band a wireless display and solar/kinetic charger and you can mind the guts to a wirelessly connected device that never leaves your pocket.

You also introduce/force a security/privacy concern. Bluetooth can get your device remotely hacked and it's routinely used to track you, your location, and nearby devices. It's one reason I always use phones with headphone jacks, I never have a need to enable bluetooth.

There's "more bending" in some sense because the whole thing has to bend, but it avoids the seam problem.
