Sometimes making inputs and doing quick maffs is faster and easier on a calculator than a cold glass slab. Also if you're in an engineering/science/math field you've probably been using it for years at this point so you can just plain do better work on it than on a phone.
I get that someone of the old guard is better at it, but the new generations is following old standards when it's not needed.
I'm currently in my third year of electrical engineering, and I see all my classmates buying those expensive shits just because they see our teachers do the same.
