Regression rather than Progression

Why is it as we progress and technology gets beter new models seem to in a way go backwards.
Take for example the Vaporesso Gen mods. The first model the 510 connector came lose for some. This was rectified in subsequent models.
Their software was RAM and they could be upgraded. The upgrade to show suggested Wattages for the OHMS of the coil fitted was fantastic.
Then instead of making the Gen take 21700 batteries they made the Gen 200 which had Rom memory so cant have firmware upgrades. It lacks the capacity to recommend the Wattage for the coils, the tinted screen is so dark you can’t see the charging status, and the screen display colours are coupled to the modes so one cant select the colour of the text except by changing modes.
With modern design the Gen would have only been slightly bigger with 21700 batteries.
Then the Armour Max came out. I love the feel but the firing button is in the most awkward place. If it was in the same place as the Gen mods and it also had recommended Wattage for the OHMS it would be so much better. I now have to concentrate on picking it up and rotating the mod so the firing button is by my thumb. I’ve written to Vaporesso and they promised to make me a tester but that was hot air.
