This isn’t that different than the Galaxy note 20 not having ultra wide band but the Ultra version does.

Are we considering that UWB is as prominent as USB and you'll be using it almost daily with a multitude of devices?

No, that's a fair point. The Ultra Wide Band is not the same in terms of use and known like USB is. My comparison was meant to be of the chips on the phone. People are arguing that apple is "downgrading" to USB 2.0 but in reality they just aren't upgrading the A16 chip that is the USB controller. This is similar to the Galaxy Note 20 not having the upgraded chip like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. There may be other comparisons that would be more accurate but I remembered this one specifically when I was looking to upgrade Galaxy.
