does it matter? If mine is way better than I had before, why does it matter that someone else's is better still? My sister's $130 Moto G is much better than whatever phone she could afford 10 years. Does it matter that it's not a $1599 iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB?

If the claim was that it would level the playing field, it seems like it wouldn't really do that?

A therapist is not a phone. Everybody deserves the best care, not just what is better than we have now. That's a low bar.
