As smartphones gobble up market share, mobile networks are putting less emphasis on their feature phones. Smartphone prices are dropping to the point where they cost as much, or in many cases, less than feature phone prices - making phones at this price range more "budget" than "basic". That's not to say there's no need for feature phones - some people are better served by a simple phone with no data plan. One of the benefits of being a part of a large mobile provider like AT&T is the sheer number of devices that are available, including both smartphones and feature phones.
