This is a clearly uneducated/basement dweller position to take. How embarassing for you.

The target market for these things is not exclusively people who know how search engines work or can even understand the warning. People increasingly have exceptionally poor levels of reading comprehension and it's even worse when the subject matter is outside of their expertise. This is well understood and not any sort of surprise to people who have social interactions with other people outside of their it/dev/ work silo.

These are the same lazy dolts that call them selves "Software Engineer" yet don't know shit on how software actual works beyond an ID, don't understand software developer ethics, and think the can be sloppy because "computers have a lot of RAM" completely blind to the idea there janky ass software isn't the only thing running on a computer.

Modern IDEs have lead to this industry being full undisciplined half wits.

I've been in telecom for most of my career, often dealing with apps and test phones so I've run the gamut of the cheapest to the greatest most expensive phones as test devices and personal devices over the course of the last couple of decades.

Simple advice that people who need it don't want to hear: for years now it's been possible to get a really, really usable phone for $30 (used to be $20). I'm not talking about a flip phone, I mean somehting running a reasinable enough android version with reasonable enough specs to run whatever bullshit apps you think you need and be a functional part of society with for as much as a phone with internet access and a camera to read QR codes seems to be increasingly required.

There is zero reason to spend more without 1.) the means to do so and 2.) a good reason why that basic phone won't do what you need it to. If 1.) is big enough you get to just buy shit you don't need because you want to. That's how this has always worked. But increasingly it's people without enough money buying much too expensive phones that have capabilities they will never use and financing them to boot.
