My guess as a bystander is that I treat my phone as a media consumption device. Having a fullsized keyboard and at least a "page" of glass seems to be the line to cross for the creation of meaningful content. IE to participate in nuanced discussions rather than narrow focused replies or even just up/down votes (more like a mob mentality).

Agree. This is exactly the main argument of educators in favor of bigger screens and keyboard. Although Chromebooks still lack features for creation (not possible to install some software), students can still create everything that can be done on cloud-based platforms.
