Make IR Blasters popular again

IR Blasters are getting less and less popular. But why? Does no one ever use them? I need an IR Blaster on my phone. It's just so convenient that I wouldn't ever buy a phone without one again. But there isn't much choice anymore unfortunately.

I was planning on buying the Mi 9 until I heard of the K20 Pro. I didn't really like the smaller battery on the Mi 9 so when I heard about the K20 Pro I got really excited. Especially because Redmi's normally have an IR Blaster. But it turns out the K20 Pro doesn't have one, which left me really disappointed.

So I started wondering, does no one use an IR Blaster? Am I the only one who relies on it because I lost some remotes and because remotes are often out of reach (because I'm in a wheelchair). Okay, not many of you are in a wheelchair probably but IR Blasters are still convenient, right?

The K20 Pro didn't have a global launch yet so I now I hope it is included in its global version, probably not though.

Doesn't anyone think an IR Blasters is important enough? Or is there some convenient alternative that I don't know about?

He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
