Neal Stephenson coined the idea of "amistics": the evaluation of technologies not for efficiency, but from an existing value system. Named after the Amish. I've been living like this for a while, without having a name for it, but at a pretty fine-grained level, for instance by staying off (most) social media. We all make these decisions. E.g. people's valuing privacy precludes their owning an Amazon Ring.
