I simply don't get this? They can put an entire screen on the back, but we can't have a fucking message LED!? 🀑 😑

Modern smartphones are so over-engineered.

Also OLED screens so you could literally make a notification LED from 4-7 pixels in software without even having to add extra hardware at all

No there are many reasons that is not the same, and it uses way more power than a single LED.
