The Dialer.
- Comes with every phone
- 10+ digit number instantly connects you with millions of people, services, and institutions
- 3 digits connects you with life-saving emergency support
- Very low-latency voice support
- High quality audio (most of the time)
- No ads
- No obnoxious UI
All kidding aside, I'm routinely astounded at how we have yet to top the ease and utility of old-fashioned phone service.
Wow you’re right. How can we enshittify this? Perhaps you should hear an ad first before we connect you to the other side?
Shit I shouldn’t give them ideas

God... Imagine being in the middle of an important call for say discussing family affairs for a dying family member and you just hear "there will be a 30 second advertisement break in 1 minute."... I'd probably pop a blood vessel.
Your dialer may already be monetized! If you get a call from a company and see their logo chances are they paid for that. It's not enshittified yet, but it definitely could be. Source: I maintain a codebase that does this for a major device manufacturers dialer.
I'm them-adjacent and I'll keep my mouth shut
Until you said kidding I was sold. "Where can I find this elusive beast??"
