shitty wages have meant people choose, have a phone (the latest phone, because that's what they can figure out, which costs as much as a computer, spread over months or years) and maybe get a tablet/notebook/computer
IPads turn to a brick over a couple years, they just stop playing videos and slow to a frustrating crawl.
Android has disabled the data capability of the USB cable for the most part, in order to keep people closer to monthly storage charges.
