A Stylus? Really?

Is today's consumer really asking for a stylus? For what? At most, you'll use a stylus 5% of the time you use your phone. But it will be there 100% of the time. Is that worth it? Why exactly do you even need a stylus? More accuracy? If you need anything other than your finger, the the user interface is a failure. At least you probably won't lose your stylus, because it will be attached to you giant fuckin' phone.
