for those waking up to the Game Gear Micro just now, a few points
from day one they've positioned the Micro as a charm toy that happens to be playable, not a genuine dedicated gaming experience
they know it's impractical, the absurdly tiny size is part of the draw (cont'd)

every other interview/article has approached Game Gear Micro from the angle of "but can you actually play [game x] like this?" & is usually met with some variation of "well the geezers at M2 were able to do it, so it's not impossible"
regardless, it's sold way above expectations

oh and, bolstered in part by the unexpectedly positive response to the Game Gear Micro, Sega will be producing more substantial, globally-released mini hardware in the vein of Genesis/Mega Drive Mini, so don't think you won't be catered to at some point

tldr: Game Gear Micro wasn't meant to be a genuine successor to Genesis/Mega Drive Mini, they didn't expect everyone to like or get it & were pleasantly surprised that so many people do, and they will at some point give you something more practical, sensible and less Sega-esque
