Makes me wonder if you understand that if they have the feature turned on then they need to support it with additional hardware, software, and ongoing tech support.
Even if it was as simple as turning it on, they would need to support people complaining about reception since phone sizes are not great for FM antennae (which they most likely don't have). Then they would need to support people who complain about signal quality since FM is not a work/not work situation like digital. Don't even get me started on the confusing FM HD weirdness. Oh, then they need to have an app built in that people can ignore because they didn't spend any money on it like their other terrible default apps.
You've never had a phone with a working radio.
