Current phones and online services are designed by the very best in their fields to make you as addicted as possible, so you spend your whole life in front of them. It’s not a self control problem and definitely not the user’s fault. That some are realizing this and want a way out (get these toxic technologies out of their life), I think is a good thing. But you can’t really go with a dumb phone in western societies any more, where every small part of your life requires some app to function (parking, public transport, library, banking, postal services, etc). This phone gives a solution to that. I think it fits a niche and it’s probably a growing one.
