Are people missing some ads that they could otherwise be getting with an FM radio on their phone?
Radio has enshittified it's way to being turned off whenever I get in a vehicle that has it turned on, so I'd miss any emergency broadcasts anyway. Can't imagine paying extra to have it on a phone.

It has always baffled me why the need for headphones (to be able to use the radio function at all), let alone the total lack of an fm antenna in devices.
I never listen to radio. I stopped when it stopped being an option on my phone.
