Another thing that I'm sure weighed in positively (at least subconciously) was seeing others do the same. On a singular device, the experience is very individual, could be experimental, and feels like shopping in a box: a tiny flat one, at that. Out in the public alongside others breeds a sense of community approval and helps reinforce the legitimacy of the method, especially as it is somewhat close to the original grocery shopping experience.
