I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.

But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

I do. Just fixed an iPod Nano 6G via soldering in a new battery. I love to not have to carry my phone when doing sport and not have to buy an expensive smartwatch, just to be able to listen to music. Also the battery lasts 2 days worth listening to music. You don't have that with Bluetooth earbuds. The new battery will last year's, while wireless earbuds stop working after 1 or two years. It has aux which is just unreplaceable in my eyes.

I hate how we have downgraded to large phones...

I hate how big some phones have become. I wear cargo pants most of the time and i have difficulty fitting almost any flagship phone into the side pockets.

Seems you're not the only one, as some cargo pants have "smart phone pockets". I've a pair of those, and at least iPhone 12 Pro fits.
