No, I don't think pornography, or arguably gambling has the same "manipulative addictiveness" hooks in the same way. The equivalent for those would be something like, if a company every time you opened their porn app had your phone emit a silent puff of nicotine (just... imagine that existed for the sake of analogy). It's about the difference between going on to Facebook and seeing your feed of your friends' posts and seeing your feed of posts selected based on content expected to ragebait you into responding.
