"I gave up my smartphone 3 years ago, and am a lot happier being disconnected when I am not at my desk. It would seem some don't consider this a valid lifestyle choice"
I know some who don't even consider having a landline to be a valid lifestyle choice!

I didn't own a cellphone in mid 2000s and it was pretty hard to get certain thing done already, now is the time when you are forced to have a smartphone, and one of the current ones to boot, capable of running applications from official stores that often impose a slew of restrictions themselves: Google Play services and all that π«

"you are forced to have a smartphone"
That alludes to part of my point - websites that refuse to accept a landline as a valid contact number. "You've entered an invalid phone number" - you've heard of landlines, right?? Pretty sure you're using them, except I can't tell for sure because you didn't include YOUR contact information on this website (instead insisting I should "download our app to contact us". Nope, not gonna happen)...
