I use tools to fix problems in my life. Hammers are one of the simplest tools in existence. When breaking down complexities in my life and looking for solutions I find it helpful to employ design principles which are really just different philosophies to the test possible solutions. Ultimately in an attempt to gain some measure of control over possible emergence.
My phone is a tool. It allows me to make and recieve communication events from people I value. In addition it has a number of other features that I find helpful in solving additional problems. That these additional solutions fit within the same small light weight device is of great convenience and subsequently value. However my phone is a tool. The worst thing for a tool to do is for it to fail during use. Tools break and require maintenance. To fail during use however is a serious problem for any tool. Injury and death are likely possible outcomes. More likely are losses potentially very serious losses that in turn could lead to injury or death. For most people their phone failing is of no grave consequence. I imagine these hypothetical individuals are not placed into positions of much responsibility. That however and not too sadly is not my situation.
I seek stability, reliability and robustness in any solution I employ. I don't engineer or design with duct tape... I try not to at least, sometimes it fun though. However for critical systems any solution is not just another brick to be added to the solution super structure stack, every solution in fact becomes foundational. We tend to forget all the problems we've encountered so as to bring us to this particular point in time. As such we happily go along fixing problems or whatever and thinking the world has always been that way... Up until something breaks! I live light and move fast, my phone is part of a set of tools that I use to allow me to do what I do. Upgrading it is too much of a risk and time drain to be of much value. The cost of upgrading vastly over shadows the reward and every new shiny feature that breaks something I depend on just makes it that much worse.
In addition,I like my hammer comment for exactly the response you gave. It triggers an almost visceral response in people who are tech literate. Call it subtle trolling if you will, but it's trolling designed to make someone think.
Also, I'm not always a fan of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" it has it's place though. More importantly for me is to have well designed solutions that are easily maintained that work. "Iiabdfi" usually only applies to duct tape systems and it surely is a principle to remember when encountering them.
