It’s all about marketability. A thin slab phone is more marketable than a thick slab phone. A (thick) tri fold is more marketable than a thin slab phone. I’m sure if they find a way to make the trifold even thinner they would though at that point idk where they would put the USB port.
Just to give the other side. I live in a big city in the US.
