I depend on my phone for a lot more important aspects of my life than my laptop. Seems pretty obvious to me, there are apps for pretty much anything I could want to do, and I believe it's the more secure platform by far, plus I have it on me pretty much always.

What about when your computer is on Apple Silicon, and the stores (and their policies) have been merged?

You mean the same thing that people have been saying since 2011?

For a huge amount of people, their phone is their only general computing device.
