Disagree, the technology is improving and the shapes of the phone are becoming more usable.
Anecdotally, i know a good amount of people who switched/want to switch off iphone to android specifically for folding phones. The form factor of the zflip/razr is a lot more usable for people who have small pockets or people who just think it's plain cool.
The "damage crease" isnt a huge deal, and most people upgrade after 3ish years anyway so as long as it can make it that far it won't matter to them.
