Just as an aside, I think it would be interesting to do a video on the development of DSO's and the major ones that "changed the game" over the last say 30 years.

That sounds like an interesting video  :-+ No, I am serious here. It would be a good path down memory lane and shine a light on how certain features became standard, who pioneered them and what features went away.

Edit: 4 versus 2 channels depends on what you need. There is no golden rule except for: if you have the money, get as many channels as possible.

That would be another interesting video "What is the lowest cost USABLE bench scope". You would have to differentiate between bench and handheld here I think.

But not in real time. With one of those you have to be constantly hitting "record" then "stop", then go looking for the data. It's a complete pain in the ass.

On a 'scope I can set up a trigger and watch the data protocol in real time without touching a single thing.

Yes it is.

Why does it matter if it's handheld or not? A lot of handhelds can be plugged in and left running all day.

A recurring theme on EEVBLOG is why aren't those Owons/Hantek bench 'scopes worth buying? They look just like Rigols/Siglents in adverts.

Why is Rigol the starting point for "an oscilloscope actually worth owning"?
