Regardless of how you feel about these devices, that line from the article is so preposterous. How many people in the world lack access to toilets or drink able water? How many folks survive on next to nothing? The author seems to think the US or maybe the more developed world is 99.9999999% of the population. If anything, it just highlights the fear mongering exaggeration. Sad.

It's not meant to be a literal statement. It's hyperbole to make a point about how ubiquitous it's become.

There is always context and interpretation and what you think that the Autor ist missing is actually you who missed it.
