Not just a small phone, but an ergonomically shaped phone is missing from the market. It would be great to have devices again that you can cradle in your hand and slip into a small pocket. Thin slabs are nice on a display shelf, but they aren't human-centered. Give me a phone with a curved and grippy back and a 5.x inch display.

There are a lot of instances where the Enterprise crew wanted to do the ethical thing, and Picard stops it or tries to. For example, when Dr. Crusher wanted to help when that planet population was addicted to drugs, and Picard wouldn't let her do that or communicate anything to them.
Also, Data once found humans frozen in space, and when he helped them, Picard was annoyed; it wasn't even a Prime Directive issue!
I wonder why they're doing this.
I was really looking forward to the Balmuda phone, but it also disappeared from the market https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/meet-this-unique-compact-android-phone-from-a-japanese-toaster-company/

The one that irrationally bugged me was when Tripp told the captain that he lowered the chair by 1cm, and the chair was still too high for everyone who sat there.. I know it's not supposed to be noticable but I could tell somehow that it wasn't lowered at all
Haha yes it's overall very long, but the section on this specific question isn't too long, just 3 pages.
Brookings did a long but very readable analysis about why this won't work: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/11122022_GA_Investigation_Report_SecondEdition.pdf
There's been a big price jump in their add-ons. Deluxe is $7.99 and audit defense is $19.99 (used to be included in deluxe, which was even a bit less)
I saw an argument that the "necessary and proper" clause in Article I, Section 8 lays out the authority quite nicely:
Congress has the power "to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or any Department or Officer thereof".
These kind of apps should be flat rate, else the incentive is for the best matches to be hidden, waste their time, or otherwise keep people lonely so they pay for more months.
