This is a really important point.

We can’t ever fully achieve decentralization and censorship resistance while being beholden to these companies.

Smart phones are absurdly convenient and powerful, but they are closed systems with centralized power.

I actually hate mobile apps. Do you want to be cucked by Apple or cucked by Google? Or if you prefer, you can try React Native and by cucked by both Apple and Google at the same time. It feels like being stuck in the crossfire of two evil corporations. It's the app store industrial complex. Because they control the distribution platform, so they can bully you into conforming to their arbitrary demands.

Computers were built by hackers, and Free Software fought against its control for decades. Now to many people, smartphones are the ONLY computers, which were first built as TOYS. Now we're still working backwards to having freedom on them.
