Is there anything you wanted to contribute, or were you just fishing for upvotes here? There are about a million different ways to make any of the points you made that would actually merit a response, but you really took the ball and ran with it.

Do you think anyone is going to read your snarky response to someone who was making a reasonable point and think "this seems like someone who wants to have a conversation"?

I wanted to contribute the comment I did, to illustrate what I believe, and how it differs to the view of the user I was responding to.

I'm not usually a fan of repeat-the-comment's-argument-but-replace-it-with-analagous-terms-type comments, I thought it was at least a decent comparison, especially considering that phones and cars are pretty general-purpose devices.
