Women's pants are practically non-existent. I was elated to finally find a phone that can fit in my damn pants. Been on the Z Flip line ever since and I'd be heartbroken to see it go.

Plus whipping it open and closed to answer and disconnect calls is fun AF.

It's not though, it's about 1.5 times as thick. And it feels way smaller in your pocket than slab phones do.

If my phone was twice the thickness it'd still be thin. I'd trade space for some extra battery any day, and/or for this.

Women's pants generally aren't deep enough. So the length of the phone absolutely makes a difference over the thickness in terms of that.

That's actually not the case with the newer folding phones. The Z fold 7 is only 10% thicker (8.9mm) when folded than the s25 ultra (8.2mm), for example. The clamshell flips do run a bit wider at 13mm but they've really come a long way and I'm sad to see the market for them dying.
