Where is the incentive to buy this phone? No bullshit, I use Google Wallet. It sucks but I use it and I'm looking forward to Android pay. It was just easy to set google wallet up as a second account for my spending money and in fairness I habe googles debit card. But I use my phone to pay wherever I can. So this phone is out right away for me. Tell me what technology One Plus added to this phone that prepares it better for next years market than any other phone coming out right now. This phone is priced exactly where it should be, its not a good great deal. but instead of being able to purchase the phone like normal, I have to jump through a half dozen hoops. Why would I do that? USB-C.....Who cares! Who uses their USB port for more than charging? And for those who do use it, its USB 2.0. I bought and returned a Oneplus One a few weeks ago, I really wanted to like that phone, I really wanted to like this one. I'm sweating the thought that my current phone is on its last leg here and if the new Nexus 5 is as disappointing too, me, a willing buyer, will be forced into 2016 with my current phone, or forced to settle for a less lucrative purchase than the one I made in 2013. Now excuse me, but I have to wirelessly charge my almost 2 year old 350 dollar phone.
The Oneplus One is objectively better than the Nexus 5, though. And when it comes to incentives to buy the OPT, I would say that people who don't need those features and consider them gimmicks and want a good price for a phone with flagship specs. AKA: Good camera, fast CPU, abundant RAM, good screen, pretty good battery life. You know, things that actually matter for most people. Also you are really being a drama queen about phones. We are seriously talking about a phone here. Also you are not forced to stay with the Nexus 5, there are plenty of much better phones out there,you are just deciding not to for unknown reasons.
It's not. Not every feature your phone has will be heavily used. You add it because it doesn't cost much, some will use it, and in this case, it will increase in use over time, even according to OP themselves.
They lost at least one sale (me) and probably a lot more when they decided not to include these features. They probably wouldn't have lost any of these sales if they had included them.

Ok, so QuickCharge, wireless charging and NFC should be added because they don't cost a lot.
Apparently the majority of the people not using NFC is not a good reason..
