    For the first point, that sort of engineering is more necessary for a smaller form factor, but can absolutely be done for other computer hardware. Applying these lessons to laptops yields some amazing laptopsz for example.

    As for the second point, that’s just one component in the system. You can attach a cellular modem to a PC. They just don’t tend to be built in directly.

      I’m emphasizing breaking free from identity ties to devices enforced by the hardware/radio. Not adding it to all devices.

      It also limits open source competition in the phone market.
