Sure, and the north korean Linux distro also runs on a computer. I still wouldn't touch it.

It is, just like a calculator is a small computer. It's not a personal computing device though, in the sense that the user can't develop and deploy their own software/tools on it.

No one should ever browse the web from an ESP32 either. Like seriously the dark patterns are bad enough from a desktop where you've actually got the screen real estate to see the whole page, have other sites open for comparison, have a keyboard to type your own notes, etc. Most browsing can simply wait, especially the adversarial-commercial type we're talking about here.
