Perhaps crazy question: is it a good idea to have two phones now? One for making calls only, with as many apps as possible removed. And another phone for email, web surfing, photos, etc...?

edit: Oops, I left out texting. Which phone for that?

phones had/some still have user profile/account option so you can do this on a single phone

Why is that feature removed by companies? It still exists in vanilla Android, but for some reason the phones sold don't have it.
