Answer 1

I always thought one of the reasons was that they have to have hardware that is capable of operating in extremely hot and cold environments, and the development of that hardware is very behind.

Like in Canada, my touch screen still works when my car has been outside in -30c weather all week.. it turns on and boots up just fine.. leave a phone in that, and the screen will either be broken or extremely slow and useless for like 10 minutes.

So you are basically stuck with tech that has matured into operating at those extremes, and our phones are basically “cutting edge” comparatively.
