Given that the average phone has 35 apps installed, keeping your phone private could soon cost around € 8,815 a year.

Nice argument they found.

It's like math at school. You prove the minimum isn't sustainable. You don't care for how far things go. If the minimum isn't viable the rest isn't either.
