Unfortunately, these might be successful because they will be dirt cheap.

Now, I'm not against economical stuff, but am when the price for that is buying into a 'rental' platform of predatory subscription apps, tracking, planned obsolescence, stuff that lets Google subsidize it like a printer. Heck, many folks are already replacing PCs with Android/iOS devices.

It's a trap!
