My dislike for Atari stems from a 'guilt by association' for Infogrames (before they covered themselves in the dead skin of Atari in the early 2000s) acquired Ozisoft whom did not handle the Dreamcast launch in Australia / New Zealand (or the whole console's short life span).
To this day I still have some anger at Atari because of Ozisoft's handling of the Dreamcast.
An idea to add to your list: force them to really work for stealing any of your stuff by having all your doors be setup with a lock that cannot be unlocked from the inside without a key (maybe a vertical deadbolt lock as they are apparently resistant to "jimmying") as a secondary lock to use when no one is in the house. If they manage to break in without forcing the door in it will be harder to move stuff out of the house as they would need to climb out the broken or forced-open window with the pilfered goods (or chuck them out the window and climb out).
Its a narrow counter point argument that I am making but the 3.5mm audio out socket doesn't always mean added thickness to a device...
I carry too many devices so I don't use the 3.5mm audio out on my android phone a lot. I use a FiiO X3 gen2 for music and a 6th gen iPod Touch for iOS games and sometimes backup music if the FiiO runs out of battery power (I use both devices with earphones a lot).
I don't have an iPhone 6S but the spec sheet gives this a thickness of 7.3mm. The iPod Touch 6th Gen has a thickness of 6.1mm (that is probably not including the sticking out camera lens). They could probably squeeze a bit more fractions of a millimetre of thickness off the iPod with more inventive design or different material technologies but it looks like its at at minimum possible thickness.
If the iPhone 5s was 7.6mm and the iPhone 6 was 6.9mm (7.67mm if you include the lens for depth) as a short sample of varying depths between models, maybe you could state that Apple is hovering around a low to mid 7mm for their iPhone models and it is probably other factors like batteries, SoC/hardware, etc, that are requiring the thickness. Going to larger sizes with the newer iPhones means that they would have to be very careful to avoid "BendGate" if they went thinner.
I don't know how much this is mentioned in other comments but I think that the issue of body-strength is probably more important to Apple that making it thinner. Its connected to thinness of course, but the iPod Touch is probably not capable of going any thinner whilst keeping the 3.5mm socket without a the 3.5mm being a critical weak point in the body casing (I think that its already close to the absolute minimum of metal used around the 3.5mm socket).
Some of my anecdote experience overlaps with what you mentioned though for me its more from my own personal experience. Referencing a physical book often feels easier than a digital copy provided that I am used to the book and know the layout of where all the information is given. It is easier to quickly flip between two parts of the book and compare information (e.g. Fact x in Chapter 3 and Fact y in Chapter 11). Though a digital copy of a book/text will have search features which makes finding unknown (not remembered?) information easier.
I own the T1 and prefer this to the T2/T3 due to the buttons being more comfortable to press.
I don't know why anyone would think that buttons reminiscent of a web browser (and 3D with raised/sunken parts which make them uncomfortable to press frequently) was a good design idea.... though I still don't know why they thought adding that metal panel on the T1 (like a Bravia TV?) but at least it didn't affect using the T1.

DOS era ARJ is still my most favourite archive program - though it is not the most versatile in today's win7/10 environment.
The 'Devil's Kimchi' (FOOF) is a favourite read on that blog.

He might be ok with that if he can get an exclusive on building hotels on the Moon...
Was Verizon late to the Aprils Fools party?

It was J.R., in his sleep, with the musket that was seen earlier in Act 1 hanging up on a wall.
