As much as I dislike Windows and smartphones the current nature of the world is that that are all necessities for most people.
Windows just has so many programs built up with it over the years and it’s really hard to convince people to jump to Linux and deal with all the compatibility problems. Things are getting better, but right now it’s like real time raytracing with how it’s perpetually 4-5 years away from being realistic.
Smartphones are an absolute necessity for the vast majority of people. If you don’t have a laptop or some other computer your phone is likely the only way you are able to apply for jobs nowadays. It’s also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now. Let alone social media and how important that has become in everyday life. Sure dumb phones can handle calling, texting and voicemail but for most people that isn’t enough anymore.
Our mental health and the demands of the modern world are at odds. I doubt we can or will ever go back to simpler technology because of the way things are in the world.

I was told Linux is incredibly difficult to use, Windows is so much safer/better.
Honestly, I used to believe this, until I installed Linux. Well, I was just lied to. I very easily installed everything that I need. My Linux distro works just fine. I can even play my favorite games. To this day, I haven’t moved back to Windows. The Microsoft empire is based on aggressive lobbying and advertising, not on superior product quality.
Billionaire-owned multinational corporations spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on advertising. They have entire teams that study consumer psychology. The goal of advertising is to undermine human rationality.
If humans were purely rational, why would they waste billions on advertising ?
They would just say “here are our products. Here are our prices. Buy them if you want to”.
Smartphones are also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now.
I don’t need to access my banking services 24/7. I have cash and a debit card that does the job. If I need to see my bank account, I just use my computer.
What you need and what you think you need are not the same things.
I used to think this about Linux but it’s just not the case for the vast majority of software now. The switch is a lot less painful than you’re making it out to be. As far as the modern world goes, it demands this bs because we let it and things still got done without the smartphone.
