How do these people think computers work?

You see this so often from phone-as-primary-computing-device people. You ask a simple question like "hey has anyone figured out how to use this device to (usage unintended by OEM)?

"STOP NO!! Don't turn on that setting you're going to break it!! You can't put linux on your mac that would break everything it's so unbelievably complex that your puny mortal mind could never understand what powers you're playing with!!!!!!" rage-cry

They're all GENERAL PURPOSE COMPUTERS. You can do LITERALLY ANYTHING with them so long as no one is standing in your way, and often even when they are.

The kids need DESKTOP COMPUTERS yes I'm going to be a boomer about this forever don't even try to change my mind.
