How do you hail an Uber or Lyft upon arrival?

Endpoint navigation is not optional for me. I suppose you could pre-login to only those apps, but still, there is nothing that interesting on my phone that I want to spend the energy to wipe, restore, and re-login to a hundred apps.

How is that a big deal? Half the time you'd have to install the local equivalent of those ride hailing services anyways - that is if regular local cabs aren't the preferred way to get around.

I use like 2-3 apps for getting around, depending on country. I don't know what you're doing with hundreds.

You just need to remember one password for your password manager account, and then you don't need to remember any others.
Buy a cheap phone at the airport? Or just phone a cab? It’s been a while but back in the day we used to travel without any phone at all.

There’s nothing interesting on my phone either - except keychain, which would give someone access to nearly all my online accounts.

What I've done in the past is just buy a new phone at the airport. Just make a new account or remember your login
