that is extreme hyperbole making hard to treat your comment seriously.

And that's just scratching the surface.
Without a smartphone, you basically can't exist equally.
100% not hyperbole. And before you think this is hyperbole, consider that menus at restaurants are no longer physical, that government IDs are being issued to smartphone, that POS systems are transitioning to smartphone, etc. etc.
Everything else will wither and die. The smartphone is the gateway to all modern commerce, communication, and mobility.
But you can exist without smartphone.
You cannot without food.
But of someone things that how app store is administered is more important function in modern society than say food production then it is not looking well though out.
(I would prefer catastrophic breakdown or malicious takeover to happen with app store rather than food supply if I would need to choose between these two, and there are still many more important functions of modern society before you get to app stores. If food supply collapses I and my family and my friends will be likely dead within month. If app store collapses there are bad consequences but far from "everyone I love dies from starvation".)
(but yes, app store ARE important function of modern society and Beeper Mini seems to illustrate some of ways how current situation is broken)
