Because a smartphone is locked down by default. I'm sure there's lots you can't just easily do with it.

The development experience of something like Android itself seems super unfriendly for beginners (as someone who is admittedly a beginner to it)

Do you think perhaps there are reasons other than using ... a smartphone?
