This is what we get for everything including a microcontroller and engineers deciding they need to make everything “simple” (read: cheap) by having a one button interface. Flashlight manufacturers, I’m looking very hard in your direction. Tap once, this. Press and hold three seconds, that. Double press and hold six seconds, the other.
If your device has multiple functions or settings built into it, put more than one friggin’ button on it!

And for those simple things like flashlights, we almost never use any of those different functions. They’re more annoying than useful
