    Ok this needs harsh pushback, because phones are affordable, computers are not. There needs to be a massive project dealing with making phones platform agnostic.

      Have you shopped for those items recently? You have 200 buck computers and 2000 buck phones.

        My current phone, a Pixel 7a, cost me around 350€ (let’s say it’s roughly the same in $). There is definitely cheaper options. And most of these options will give you a decent phone.

        A $200 computer will bring you to basic office stuff and playing facebook games.
