Why not a smartphone with the jack, microsd, and a hardware kill switch for camera?

I haven't found a >=2025 phone (I started looking in the summer) with a headphone jack that I can actually use more conveniently than a tablet. Everything now requires two hands, not counting warrantyless china phones like the jelly star, or ones with a chipset that would have been considered fast in 2018

As for the camera, a webcam sticker seems much more convenient than needing to mess with the hardware internals
