I don’t and I wish I had known about them when they were still a thing.

What other forgotten accessory or innovation in Android history do you wish had taken off or would come back?

    I dislike the hassle rooting has become. I have to weigh the benefits vs. managing my banking apps, etc.

      Plus, honestly, there’s not as much benefit as there used to be. I used to root so I could install that app that red-tinted the display. That’s been built into stock Android for a while now. I also liked making the navigation buttons smaller and trying different gesture systems, but imo stock Android gestures leave everything else I tried in the dust. Theming? I only ever used OLED themes, and most Android phones and applications have an option for that now. One by one over the last few years almost every justification I had for rooting was rendered moot. Then Android phones started doing that a/b partition thing and it was just too much of a pita for not much benefit
