Is this the same with everything? In the past, a hard drive, a mouse, or a web camera was a dumb piece of hardware and a driver that ran on your PC. Now, IIUC, each of those has it's own computer (SoC) running an entire OS. Your phone probably has ~20+ SoC. One for USB, one for Wifi, One for Bluetooth, one for each of the 4 cameras, one for lidar, one for SSD, one for cellular, one for the secure enclave, one for audio, Each of them is an entire computer, more powerful than most 1980s general purpose computers, running an entire OS with multiple abstractions internally and all of that to make that device appear as yet another abstraction.

Am I wrong?
