False. That is a false statement. You said that "no one" wants these to be heavier, when in fact, many people would gladly accept a few nanograms of extra weight for a better battery. Look at everyone with a Clutch or Anker attached to their phone.

A real pro model would be chunky and blocky with lots of connectors, ports, and user replaceable parts.
Why can't we have two product lines. Classic/Elegant and Pro/Chunky

What is the purpose of it? Visual programming has failed since the 80's.
Why not just have GenAI create you a custom tool to perform the automation?

How is n8n any different from the "Visual" tools from the 80's and 90's like Visual Smalltalk?
