It's slow and tedious to dial numbers with many high digits in them. And there's no quick dial function for commonly used numbers. Both of these things directly impact UX.

You can always dial zero and get an "operator".

An operator is like Siri or Alexa, but capable of passing a Turing test.

And now I want to build a rotary phone that connects to Alexa when you dial zero.

Don't be that evil, at least connect it to something more useful, like Google assistant.
