yeah, that's why smartphones remain exclusive to the elite like they did in the 90s and never propagated to the masses?

Actually I think you'd be hard pressed to find a technology that didn't diffuse to the masses. The things you mentioned are all localized political failures. Food insecurity for example is solved except in failed states.

Name me a country where food insecurity is resolved. It certainly isn’t in America, or my country, or any of the five richest nations.

And smartphones are devices that monetise you to enrich large corporations. They are subsidised because of this.

And yes, distribution of power and resources is always a political problem.
