I suppose i use a computer for all of this. Do you not get any utility out of your phone beyond being a glorified frontend to a browser? I use it to track my health, to take and organize photos, to document my life in myriad ways, to compose and edit text/video/music, and virtually none of this requires internet beyond icloud syncing/drive.

I don't normally order Ubers or scan boarding passes from my computer, no.

I do take photos on my phone but I want them automatically backed up to the cloud so I don't lose them if my phone is stolen.

Editing text/video/music I prefer to do on my computer not my phone.

> virtually none of this requires internet beyond icloud syncing/drive.

That's a weird counterargument. "This doesn't require internet except this feature does require internet."
