It's often said that Apple gives you features that you didn't know you wanted, but at the same time, Apple forces features on people who absolutely do not come did not, and did not ask for them.

Apple may have decided that the user of yesterday is not their future market, focusing more on users coming of age now. They don't have to really care what older people think and how they use phones, because those people will eventually go away, and they need to be prepared for this future customer.
