I like the general idea and also try to conceal my identity as much as reasonably possible when out in the world. However, not having a smartphone just isn’t an option for a lot of parents. I’ve long wanted to ditch my iPhone and get a dumb flip phone, but my infant son’s daycare uses three (!) smartphone apps for critical services. Think checking in/out, door access, critical communications, payments. There are no alternatives; you can’t do anything of these things outside of their respective app.

Dear gawd, you need a smartphone app to enter the kindergarden? Guess I've been out of touch for a while.
