I agree, but you don't say to drug addicts "it's easy just stop taking drugs" because ultimately they will still reach for their fix. It's a personal decision, but the tools to self-manage need to be available.
Apple could do more to alleviate addictions, however. You could argue that they first introduced these addictions in the first place. Red circles in the corners of apps have become a corner stone in computer interaction. "Do not disturb" and "Notifications" go someway to manage and alleviate this, but ultimately it's not in Apple's interest to provide mechanisms for users to escape their platform.
If apps don't see engagement, developers won't make apps, which means Apple loses money.
If users aren't bullied into updating their devices, the large majority won't update, which means Apple loses control of their platform.
I hope Apple take a stand against this established model. It's gone far enough and it's extremely mentally wearing.
