Omg. Guys. 99.99999 of users can't use those.

I'm sure that atleast some of the 99.99999% are smart enough to unbox a phone, insert a sim card and press the "call" button.

You might be fastly overestimating the average persons tech-literacy...

Almost anyone I know gets a mild panic attack when a button slightly moves or their preferred app stops working. Recently had a conversation with someone flipping their shit that the apple 'Download' dropdown (dropup?) From the task bar, does not let you drag and drop any files, just open them.

I think expecting even 0.0001 of the world to be able to flash/boot a custom ROM nowadays is a high order. Even if its so much easier than it was a few years ago...

They would be scared shitless from a terminal window let alone '[Y]es/[N]o' '
