@drd1135 , I feel much the same way you do. And I've bought a GR twice...because I like the output....and I like the ethos...and I like how it's really MADE for a photographerly mind....But I just can't seem to live with this single focal length....despite the fact that my phone is similar.
I think when I'm using a "camera" instead of a "telephone", I have different expectations....and I have preconceived notions of how I will "see" the world through each imaging device. Maybe that's not the right way to explain it. But I have NEVER looked at a cel phone photo and wished I had a different focal length.....but nearly half the time I look at any of the photos I take with a GR, I wish I were closer to the subject.
Maybe I need to find a psychiatrist phootgrapher to explain my issues to me.
I also NEED a viewfinder when shooting with a camera....but don't seem to miss one when I'm making photographs with my portable telephones.
