you're right, for some reason I had my son's Samsung Galaxy Tab in mind, and I made the mutant.

My experience with the latest Moto I have is the AI assistant is an anti-pattern but the phone is nearly unusable for a lot of things without it.

Just in case you wondered, and even if you didn't,

I admire ignorance of smartphones and consider such as virtue. I obtained my first in 2018 after years of resistance. But driving a semi and not being the best with maps and logistics, I finally capitulated.

And back then, although cyanogenmod was gone, they weren't too bad. 2019 changed a lot, with autonomous, respawning, immutable "services" and things have digressed severely since. Hence my visiting this post for Fairphone.

So take pride in your purity. It only gets worse the more you know.
