Correct. They found out professionals have money to afford premium hardware and software so you can charge them that. Perfectly reasonable way to make money, little competition in that space as opposed to general purpose budget stuff.
You may have glossed over the part where I said this is not premium hardware. Even bargain basement Android phones come with USB3. They've gone out of their way to ensure their less expensive (but still very expensive) devices have bad hardware.
Going by number of features isn’t really a way to tell what’s premium. For me the bar is set really low which is not having ads, which most budget Android phones fail at.
We are not going by "number of features", we're "going by" one specific feature.
