It was the selling point of Android compared to Apple just 4 years ago, to be able to find a device that suit you, with a variety of designs and options to choose from.
It isn't as if making few derivatives of some models, some with pop up, other with bezels, and all that, would kill them, in fact it is the opposite.
And it isn't a question of demand, there are tons of demand that are purely ignored and many things that are literally at best disliked and often hated that are overwhelmingly present.
Lack of 3.5mm Jack of flagships and 2Mp Macro + Depth are a good example of those two things, this is exactly why the smartphone market doesn't have diversity, they don't care about customer demand, they force customers into a limited set of options.
This is a mix between most customers not knowing much about smartphones, and the smartphone community (the best example is right here, on GSMArena, mainly with the awful anonymous haters) being super toxic.
In no other market you'll find people fighting against features that they can perfectly just not use as it is not intrusive at all, or is rare and left them with basically 99% of the market to choose from.
How many, for absolutely no reasons, spit on the 3.5mm Jack, bezels, pop up, SD Card slot and many other things?
When this is something like the punch hole that is so overwhelmingly everywhere that there are no other choices, yes, it is justified, but all those saying "I am glad the pop up/jack/etc is dead", for what reasons? There isn't a single valid justification possible for such thing, yet it is basically the norm of this community.
And the smartphone community have a HUGE influence on this market, don't forget that this often the communities that advise casuals customers what to guy.
And considering that phones like the Googles are basically only made for fans, it proves it.
So obviously, with such community, you can't just listen to the demand.
Imagine a market analyst of brand X trying to sort through the comments in the review article of one of their product or of a similar feature from another brand, and you have half saying they like it, and the other half saying they hate it and therefor it shouldn't exist.
Most of the time those hating it doesn't have any valid argument or reason as to why they are against it, because there is a huge difference between something you PERSONALLY don't want and something you don't want at all, like :
*A phone with two notches (most won't personally want it), or.
*A new way to push ads in the main menu (that no one want in general as it will spread) or any features that directly affect negatively other users that don't want it.
That's obviously because sorting between all of this have been made obsolete by the Smartphone community toxic attitude that the smartphone market is full of so much nonsense.
Funnily enough, diversity and appearance of many of the awful features started at the same time that the pop up appeared and started to get bashed to death, because that was when haters reached their peak potential in this community, I personally see this as Karma.
Look at how diverse the market was in 2017 :
https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2017&nYearMax=2017&sFormFactors=1&sOSes=2&sOSversions=2900
Even within the same brand, most phone looked unique, even within the same brand, even if many clearly copied Samsung and Apple.
You had slim bezels, large bezels, face recognition, 3.5mm Jack on flagships and SD card slot (both are the type you can perfectly ignore if you don't want to use them, without any drawbacks whatsoever), big phones, small phones, thin one, thick one, FPS in many spots (front, side, back), a large selection of camera even if it was a dual cam era, you still had phones with no camera emphasis for those who didn't care about it, and phones with only one, but a good main camera, you even had some with a Telephoto over the Ultra-Wide, while nowaday with 4 camera, two being useless 2Mp, most don't have Telephoto.
Camera layout was also different, even though there was only two max for most.
It was the golden age of smartphones with legends like the Galaxy S8 or their Active series, you could find phones with rounded or more squary corners, you already had curved edge display, and they didn't invade the market.
And 2018 came, there was a lot of innovations, but it was also the last year of diversity, since then, this market followed a 99.9999999999% of phones have the same X, Y and Z features and only a handful have other things.
No other market do that, not a single one, regardless how long, expensive, complicated and all that the creation of a product is.
And the smartphone market is even worse in this aspect because it would be EASY to actually modify existing frames to incorporate other options, which is what basically every other market, once again, do.
The smartphone market is pure nonsense, and in terms of customer choice, by far, the worst of the planet.
Am I the only one to see all this, or does everyone just avoid talking about it?

Know what? When on the Internet already; how about you do a simple search next time before putting forward something you don't know? Knowledge is cheap and readily available, you just didn't want to get it, but hated being correct. Yuck!

Like putting a small webcam in the slim chin bezel, having no front camera, or using the disappearing camera concept.
And pop up are still often coming back on prototypes and concept phones because engineers and designers know they are good, that's the haters and how the smartphone market evolve to lose every bit of diversity (driven by said haters) that prevent new phones with pop up or other techs said "dead" despite having many people still wanting them to come back.
But once the UDC will definitely prove it is totally useless and worthless, pop up might come back stronger than ever, though it would require both the smartphone community to stop being stupid and OEMs to start respecting customers, so yeah...
