I knew they weren't selling much these days, but damn their market share has dropped significantly since 2013/14. Still, this looks really good and I'd consider buying one if I needed a new phone.
There are phones with similar hardware in them for less money.
Also, are they really sold in the US? Don't think I've ever seen what for sale at Verizon.
This too. If you aren't in a store in the US then you're basically forced to appeal to enthusiasts.

Yeah, I can buy a Galaxy S10 for 425$ on a monthly plan of 15$ a month or I can spend 1000 on a sony unlocked......... Not really much of a choice.This. I've been with Verizon for years. Every time an article pops up about a Sony phone I definitely consider it over Samsung, and then when it's time to buy I discover Sony isn't making phones for Verizon. I'm sure I could buy an unlocked one and blah blah blah but at that price it's no longer in consideration vs the latest Galaxy or Pixel.
I'm in the US and I wonder if part of it is that they aren't sold directly by carriers under their monthly installment plans* which might be how most people are choosing their phones. You can buy them unlocked at retailers though.
* = tbh I only really checked Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T.
