There's already a firm divide between the foss/self sufficiency crowd and modern tech.
If this is bad enough, you'd see every foss faithful walking around with a laptop, mp3 player and camera like they're in 2009.
I hardly believe foss faithful people would ever carry a laptop, but there is a chance they will choose a foss-respecting phone (not that there are many options)
The whole thinkpad obsession in the linux/foss community isn't visible to you?
Carrying a laptop like it was a Steam Deck is pretty hard, nevermind like it was a phone, unless it's like a Vaio or something.
