In a world where thermostats and refrigerators have to go regular software updates, this hardly seems like overkill. Someone made something to help people, I think we should appreciate it.

it's a fair question. why even install distracting apps in the first place? just remove them from the phone. the problem is apps that mix business with pleasure and that can't be uninstalled or avoided.

Exactly this. And if it's really so bad that you'd need this, just buy a simple phone with simple apps.

How is buying a new phone easier than installing an app?

On my world such thermostats and refrigerators don't exist, it is a matter of being a conscious consumer.
