If there was a decent phone with FM radio and an IR blaster, I might pick it over a lot of other ones.

I miss having an IR blaster so much, I was always finding new uses for it. Now I've got little remotes everywhere again

Same, including an IR led is such a simple thing, why did this ever go away. Though I'm pretty sure most Chinese phones still have them, Xiaomi phones do for sure
