My idea to give my son a dumbed-down phone one day was to only install a terminal on it, and maybe chatgpt. And give him access to a server via tailscale. Then he could do whatever a terminal could do, except without the audiovisual or socialnetworking dopamine fixes. And retain all the basic phone functionality.
He needs uber. He needs google maps. Mostly it's not just about looking up information, it's about functionality.
Who "needs" Uber or Google Maps? Especially a kid?
I could permit those apps.
And convenience too, to an extent
