Well there's "unschool", if you want a term that emphasizes that it's not school, but the way it's done is way more important than whatever it ends up being called. As Caplan mentions in the above post, he's tr

I think the mobile situation is a bit different. People who depend on e.g. WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family simply won't switch to a phone that doesn't run WhatsApp. Those messaging apps (or apps like Uber/Lyft
