Even a calculator has got N*Steps internal storage, there is still the issue you do not have save/load capability. Simply the Murphy laws apply. 35y back while playing with my first programmable, it was not an issue. In 2015 it is assumed by all users you can l/s, and, you can use (or post) some code from a repository easily. "Easily" is important here. Retyping the code is not the way to go, as I can solve my problems much faster in matematica then
The ability to l/s is a strong driver for users of any such device. Much stronger driver would be "the ability to choose" from vast amount of existing code.
I own today hp25 (original) and wp34s but not using them (because I cannot l/s easily). I own PC1251 too (which can do l/s) but I do not use it as I do not have a code repo handy
The smartphones are of course the (only) way to go for several _very_ obvious reasons (ie. look at the latest wp43 topics), even I do understand the button's click of early hps is something we certainly will miss
