Well, to be fair, most guitar gear as a whole never leaves the house. I bet there are more 1/2 stacks in living rooms than on stages, and it has been that way...always.

This is a BD-2w
It's quite different from the regular BD-2 . . . below on the right looks like the early 2000ish one that I've been using forever, and on the left is the current production BD-2:

You mean most fancy gear is purchased by us hobbyists/ bedroom/ living room players and not pros like you? Interesting...

I have no question why I like them:
#1 They are cheap
#2 They sound good
#3 Easy to toss a full rig in a gig bag with cables, tuners, power cords and whatever else.
No doubt the ergonomics of the classic Ibanez/Boss/MXR have a lot going.
But size, price point, and quality all play into it. More options is more better. Honestly, give the awesome of Multi FX we could ask why do we have regular stomp boxes. For the price of just one you 50 and programs.

When I got my Pedaltrain Pro I made a joke board with my 4 huge EHX pedals (Deluxe Memory Man, POG, Deluxe Electric Mistress and Frequency Analyzer), old big box Muff and Fuzz Face. That’s all that fit. :chairfall
I hope so..I hate carrying a giant phone. I am hanging on to my Iphone SE.

You guys need to learn the concept of "User Stories" from product service design:
User 1: John is a student, who loves to play guitar and spends a lot of his time studying. He does a lot of his guitar playing on his computer in his dorm room. But he likes to get together with friends and jam too. He doesn't have a lot of money or space for a real pedal board, but enjoys using mini pedals to play out.
User 2: Jim is pro-am guitar player. He has digital multi-fx, standard pedal boards, and mini pedals. He uses mini pedals when he needs to fly for simplicity and reliability, and also like to add them to his already crowded board to add effects, like the phasor for gigs where early Van Halen sounds are needed.
User 3: Jeff is a bedroom shredder whose wife is not happy about the amount of money or space he is taking up with his guitar hobby. He likes the mini pedals as they are easy to hide and not expensive
User 4: James has OCD and will buy one pedal of every type available in a brand of every color.
User 5: Joe is a high school student who is now to guitar and enjoys being able to try new sounds cheaply.
YOUR preferences are for you. When you run a company, trust me, a good one not only understands YOU, but the 10 other people you don't give an eff about. Moving units is moving units.
LLL is an old guy who will use a digital sim, or hotplate a plexiglass instead of using a Dark Matter. They aren't even trying to sell to him.
I'm a guy who wants a fast/cheap/small backup board for gigs if my amp goes down. Thus they make a tiny little DI with a cab sim.
