Agreed. I also use my phone as an important part of my backup for my computer, which I'm willing to mess with more. Specifically my phone has my password manager 1password: - If I wanted to restore my computer from a disk backup I'd need the backup encryption key. - If I wanted to recover my computer from a fresh install I'd need my GitHub password, Google Drive password (I sync my Documents folder to drive), email password, etc. I have paper backups of my 1Password account recovery information but I wouldn't necessarily have those accessible while traveling. And I consider my phone to be the primary and most reliable of those. (I'd really like a backup of my 1password but they don't make that trivial so it's on my to do list. At least each of their apps on my devices acts as an offline backup. I think that I can copy the SQLite database and the exact version of the app on my computer to a usb drive but that's obviously something I'd want to test) There are also lots of little annoyances you don't necessarily think of. If you break your computer's network stack it's really annoying to debug without a way to Google, for example. I could borrow my partner's laptop for a quick check, but I'd rather not for an extended session.
