Uh huh. Freedom. In some empty rhetorical sense. Meanwhile you still have 99.999% of the usual obligations.
Go freely walk out your local supermarket without paying.

that's your definition of freedom?
Don't pay taxes. Steal cars, punch Trump, call a black person the N-word ... see how it goes
Paper and pencil offer a far more blank canvas compared to the very specific hardware constraints of a phone, and ecosystem of software limited to the common languages
Software dev and use is, comparatively, heavily constrained and on rails compared to sitting by a tree and imagining
To buy the phone ones agency is coupled to the subset of legitimate options to make money
Same for electricity to charge it, battery replacement, screen repair if it breaks.
Really just quickly becomes a ball and chain
So free!
