I know someone who doesn’t use food delivery apps, doesn’t shop online, and lives very minimally. For them, a dumbphone works just fine.
But for most of us, life is already deeply tied to apps: banking, transport, messaging, work. A lot of things aren't even optional anymore — many services expect you to use an app.
Once you go convenient, it’s really hard to go back. You don’t just lose access to entertainment — you lose infrastructure.
