There are compromise solutions that make it a pain to use which goes a long way to defeating addiction. Here are a few
1. Make the screen monochrome. It greatly reduces the appeal of the entire system.
2. Increase the font size so that things don't look as pretty and slick. You deliberately cripple the UX.
3. As much as possible, use a browser instead of an "app" (e.g. X, Amazon etc.) and then set a limit for the time you can use your browser per day.
4. I use this as a launcher on my phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qqlabs.minimalistlauncher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qqlabs.min... which prevents has "mindfulness delays" for selected apps and other features that make the usage less smooth.
A combination of these has helped me reduce my attachment to the phone. There are also lots of times when I don't take it with me.
