Maybe the more sensible question to ask in this context (which has of course been asked a dozen times already...) is: "Why did the 35-year-celebration model HP-35s, which has plenty of rom capacity and display and keys and everything, still not include polar/rectangular conversion keys?"
Instead of adding fancy stuff like ALG mode they could have taken the opportunity to finally create the shirt pocket sized HP-9100 that the original HP-35 was supposed to be.
