There is also security updates, as well as the wear and tear on a physical device that is constantly exposed to scratches, dust, and whatnot.
I would like to use them for four or five years with a battery replacement at the midpoint.

As a result, all my phones end up looking pristine several years into them being used.
Modern devices are already massive, putting a case on then make them even bigger, and in my opnion more prone for falling from your hands.
And I have the extra-advantage of being able to easily locate my phone on family gatherings as I am usually the only one who doesn't have a case. :-)
They look pristine except for being wrapped in a case and a screen guard. It's a bit like how some people wrapped TV remote controls in plastic film.
Don't get me wrong, I also put a case around my phone, but it makes it look fugly from day one.
