It makes sense to me! I use the basic four functions every day but only need trig, calculus and other advanced functions occasionally. I'd carry a four-banger in my pocket when going to the supermarket, the hardware store, the lumber yard, etc. In fact I do! The only thing is it doesn't use RPN. I'd pay for a basic RPN calculator. I know I may be in the tiny minority but this is a one-man calculator project, the Chinese aren't involved (unless the OP is Chinese) and there's no need for mass production. A sale of fifteen or twenty units would be fine. I'd buy six or seven myself to give out to friends and family. If nothing else it would be fun to watch them search for the Equals key!

Don't you already bring your smartphone with you? Choose the emulator right for you and you're done.
Do we really need another pocket for another device?
