I also don’t understand how covering yourself in even more devices constantly buzzing for your attention is supposed to lead to less distraction and being more present.
To me this a first step for not having to check your phone or tablet if nothing needs attention.
This is in particular useful if you’ve already filtered down your notifications significantly, you’ll be able to go stretches of hours without looking at your devices, because you’re mostly sure nothing important happened.

Uninstall the apps. I did, and its amazing how little attention any of it actually needs.

Laughable, coming from Google. Or Apple, or Microsoft, or Facebook.
