this is the trend and sorry you dont like but there will be something for you to buy. maybe not much choice but something because as you sayspecial niche cases uses around like dot matrix printers (not in my job) used in auto shop for receits. no one use dot matrix at home.
Stilus not returning still used a minority of cases and is very small among all smartphone and tablet users. only samsung and its 5 million tabs but that is a small number compared to market

Sorry, I had no intention to be rude, and I don't think I was. But even if YOU don't need such things (and I am sure you could find them very useful if you actually had them), then it wouldn't hurt you either if (for example) the very same iPad3 had an expansion slot hidden somewhere? How would that be bad for you?
Samsung brought the stylus back on one device and it has been a rousing success (5 million phones in just a few months). So much so, that they now will bring out more devices. Give it another year and you will see more and more. Having a stylus is just so much better, taking handwritten notes, hitting small links without zooming in and out. Increasing DPI and seeing more on screen.
And look at the 10s of millions of styli that are being sold for phones and tablets. Sorry, just because Apple decides to do away with something doesn't mean that there aren't 10s of millions of users who don't want or need it. Quite often you like a device and you say "no stylus, no mircoSD? Sigh, I wish this device had it but I will buy it anyway".
Again, if you had the very same tablet (same size, same look, same specs) and there were a stylus and an expansion slot integrated inside, how would that not make for a better device? Not everybody would see a need, but many do. We shouldn't accept device makers "my way or the highway" to force us to accept inferior products just so that they can make a few more bucks.
