With the exception of using the Internet, I don't do any of those things, and the fact you think they're still common shows how out of touch you are with the current zeitgeist. Most tech folks are into BIFL, tend to keep phones for longer (and iPhones in particular have the longest supported service life of any smartphone on the market), and have eschewed crypto due to the scams. That's not to say all those things weren't true at some point, but we've seen a shift. For many of these things, they're a form of status signalling. There's far more status in wearing organic, natural fiber fabrics, which are hand-made in an interesting but remote part of the world vs fast fashion from a mall made by child labor, similarly crypto scams have pretty much dirtied the look of bitcoin and others and most people have stopped involving themselves (or at least no longer talk about it).
