Blackberry appears to be expanding its services into third-party mobile devices:
A little over a year ago the company launched BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for Android and iOS. Now the company is adding new features including support for BBM notifications on Android Wear smartwatches.
But BBM might just be the start of BlackBerry’s cross-platform offerings. This week the company unveiled something called the BlackBerry Experience Suite which could bring more apps and services to Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices in the future.
The Experience Suite has three components: the Productivity Suite, Communication and Collaboration Suite, and Security Suite. BlackBerry says users will be able to purchase all three of those packs together or buy just the individual suites they want.

My point was that "in the old days". Entrance to the information highway required a minimum level of competence and thinking and curiosity. This served as an indirect filter such that predominately people that had something qualitative to say were the only one present. Nowadays we have all the rest to contend with too. Facebook seems to be the center of this universe.
So perhaps it's time to produce tools and devices that doesn't cater to the "mind-numbingly stupid" but rather to demands like the ones you wrote about to facilitate efficient use instead of making it easy to use for everybody. And content that focus on quality rather than accessibility for everybody.
Adding a camera was much a symptom on catering to the bling crowd and a came to think of the NSA nickname for iPhone users ;) Your points rather show you are power user that has demands on your tools. Nothing negative ;)
