This of course depends on your jurisdiction and how much time you’re willing to put into this, but I’d refuse to pay for shipping either way.
You have a contract with the company, and they didn’t fulfil it, that’s on them. They can’t just send you a defective product and make you pay for (part of) it.
I use bxactions to control play/pause (single tap), flashlight (hold when screen is locked) and auto rotation (hold when screen is on). No custom ROMs or root needed, just a quick abd command that comes with the app and disables bixby.
I’m not being an asshole.
That’s for others to decide.
I don’t see it either.
I don’t think they researched this decision.
Who?
The new owners? They’re interested in the high rankings on the playstore. The vast majority of people don’t care about bloat/privacy and install whatever is at the top of search results.
The original developers? I’m sure it worked out for them.
Clearly nuclear is the future!
The headphones: Probably zero.
The phone: Definitely possible, if you take care of it and are fine with not having the latest and greatest.

640K ought to be enough for anybody.
Maybe having super high details pn a phone screen doesn’t make sense, but the computing power can still be used in other ways. Maybe standalone consoles stop being a thing and we’ll use our phones like a Nintendo Switch, just plugging it into the TV when we want to. Maybe VR headsets actually are the future.
Who knows.
How can speed limits be real if our eyes aren’t real?
I’ve come to use a privacy friendly, completely local workaround:
There’s sheets of metal at the side of the road with numbers on them, the exact design depends on location. I read this number, and then keep the equivalent number on my vehicles dashboard at an equal or lower amount (slightly above seems to work as well), which prevents the speed cameras from triggering.
It’s absolutely wild. I saw this meme the other day: https://jlai.lu/post/86996
Some people have lost all grip on reality.
Seeing how the vast majority of people stayed and are gladly participating in reddits PR event, I think it’s fair to say that messing with reddit can be fine.
But the vast majority won’t, and that’s an issue.
You still have a contract. But I get that it may not be worth the trouble.
