I agree with that. I was just disputing the 'a non-dismissable screen that forces them to add it' of your comment. It is skippable, but it's hidden in a way your Grandma isn't going to discover.

Because they might need it (or at-least want it) for one stupid little thing, be that Facebook or their bank (and general computing defaults to phones these days for normies apparently, plus it's generally cheaper than buying a laptop)

This phenomenon probably isn't helped by the average sound experience being worse than it once was. You might be watching that film on your phone's really tinny speaker, or your TV's speakers which might as well not be there
