Sure, but that's kind of like saying meth is a better productivity tool than coffee, it's just a self-discipline issue to use it safely. Phones are inherently designed to be addicting.

Not phones. There are a handful of apps on these phones that are the equivalent of meth. The infrastructure powering those apps should be seized and repurposed for public good, the proprietors / owners should be charged with crimes against humanity and punished most severely.

If you think this is hyperbole or over-reacting, you're either too far gone, or part of the problem and should be included in the erasure.
