There is no "GenZ rejection of the digital world" thats a marketing narrative. Gen Z is overwhelmingly online and the handful that do reject it are no more than a rounding error.

Using it because you're practically forced to use it, is not the same as not rejecting it intellectually. While that's probably still a minority, it definitely seems larger than just a rounding error to me.

I've seen, though rare, other people with dumbphones, for example. And more people who would like to have one.

I think that people often say they want things they dont actually want. Like living in the woods and we can only look at their actions to judge their actual desire. We know people dont want to live in the woods because when they have the money and freedom to choose ot live in the woods they buy an apartment.

Its even easier with dropping social media because the cost is actually so low and yet people still dont even attempt to.
