Not from a personal point of view but from a global humanitarian point of view, mobile phones are how most people interact with the internet, technology, and the rest of the world. That should make it #1 on everybody's list. Right now 99.9999% of smartphones are closed source and closed hardware that is controlled by mega corps that don't have your best interests at heart.

You really put this well. I want this for convenience and to flip the bird to "the man" but globally smartphones are so much more important as a way for people to be connected. It's the only choice they have for doing it.
