Most of the things you mentioned survived because of an ecosystem of long term support and service. The overhead of a computer purchase was and is pretty high. It seems unlikely that people will invest in long term service or care for a $25 phone.
As I've said elsewhere, I look forward to seeing how Mozilla makes this ecosystem thrive. My assumptions are that it needs a healthy economy, but I am not opposed to having that assumption turned on its head.

And yes, all those things survived because of an ecosystem of long term support and advice. If both phrases look at odd for you, you may need to take a look on how societies enriches itself.
