Ask HN: Why does no one need an increasing ringtone volume on an iPhone anymore?

There was a time when there seemed to be quite a few requests for/complaints about iPhones not having an option for gradually increasing the ringtone volume when a calls is incoming.

I realise it must never have been a priority feature for Apple to implement, but I’m curious about why it seems that no one cares that it is missing anymore.

Does no one find it useful anymore? Perhaps because it is more acceptable to have a phone ring in many situations now. Perhaps the people who cared bought Apple Watches. Do people still want it, but internet searches favour the old questions/complaints?

Unimportant, but I’m curious.
