Phone manufacturers: please give us the power button back

TL;DR

Every major phone manufacturer is guilty of a serious crime, and I won’t be quiet about it any longer: they stole the power button from us.Long-pressing the power button used to bring up an option to turn your phone off, but then these companies decided to get cute and make this a shortcut to summon their digital assistant.This is bad and wrong, and I’m politely demanding that these companies return what they took from us.If you make the fatal mistake of long-pressing the power button in hopes of turning your phone off, Siri will start listening to you as you curse about how the power button doesn’t work how it should anymore.If we can’t have that, then at least let’s agree on a standard combination of buttons to press so I can stop taking screenshots of my homescreen on accident."
