I’m not sure how much legacy code is written for contact apps in smartphones. But given the amount of tweaks and changes apple and Google make in each of their releases I would expect they wouldn’t have any problem integrating this feature.
Also you mentioned legacy code, but why T9 dialing isn’t a thing anymore coz that would be available if they were simply extending from legacy codebase.
As a software engineer I’m interested in the value that would add over simply having combinations of the tags as is possible now
These kind of tags are supported in all kinds of note taking apps. I don’t think it would be an Hercularian task to achieve it.
Don’t underestimate the legacy code. There’s a reason we avoid it.

I was just making a joke. Hopefully, those apps are not like the hardcoded messes that I’ve had to deal with before.
