This is not what the post talks about, but going outside without a phone is getting harder and harder for practical reasons because more and more things depend on you having a phone.
For example, my university dorm used annoying proprietary NFC locks that can only be opened with a mobile app. If I don’t take my phone with me when going outside, I won’t be able to go home.
There’s an increasing number of things that just expect you to have access to a mobile phone at all times.
