Idk, if you tried to use your phone as a bike I bet it would fail pretty quickly.

I don't get your argument. What I'm saying is that complexity isn't necessarily directly correlated to reliability.

Sure, but a hammer is both simpler and much more reliable than a phone. My point is that it is meaningless to compare items with completely different functions (I would say apples and oranges, but it is more like apples and rocks).
