Not sure how other people are but I couldn't not have a smartphone for my job. Feels like that's either a luxury for rich people or one tiny benefit for people with lower demand jobs who are done with the job when they leave the office

I feel similarly. My job uses all kinds of 2FA and email-chain nonsense that pretty much require me to keep one as well. I'm starting to learn how to retrofit a special half-dumb phone to do those required things, but it's quite a process compared to what George Clooney got to do
