I still wish that Apple had just licensed Wacom EMR --- as it is, I have to use a Wacom One w/ my MacBook so that it will fit in w/ my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, Book 3 Pro 360, and Kindle Scribe (all of which use the same Wacom EMR stylus technology).

Do EMR pens generally support barrel rotation? No barrel rotation would rule them out for my use case (painting and illustration/being able to rotate the brush head)…

The Intuos/Cintiq pens do.
Time was, Wacom did a variety of stylus shapes/designs ranging from tracing pucks for CAD to airbrush-like ones which mimicked the dual action setup on high-end units.

I'm with you in this one. I'm using an S24 Ultra with the EMR pen right now. Same pen works with my Boox E-Ink tablet.
And I have an EMR pen collection to rival my fountain pen collection. Any device I buy must support them.
