While at it, they could also add option to decrease minimum volume. Often it’s too loud, at least for me. One dumb phone I planned to use as MP3 player has this same issue.
Actually, I feel like it’s most phones. Thankfully the music app I use has equalizer to tune it down.
Hell, even many separate music players. Only stuff with analog volume control is basically always OK.

The phone manufacturer can only guess how loud it actually is to your ears. Every pair of headphones outputs at a different volume, and more expensive ones tend to be quieter for reasons I forget.

Because expensive headphones tend to have drivers with higher impedance, meaning they produce less volume at the same current versus a lower impedance set.
