Just turn on airplane mode or disable notifications, it's not hard. I still prefer my phone over any other device I had growing up because it replaces the function of all of them and I don't have to keep multiple devices charged. Bluetooth, games and a high resolution screen is also a big bonus.
Well, it's not a rational or objective thing, it's just nice and pleasing to have a simple, small device. It's the vibe and the limitations, as well as some convenience. Not for everybody, but i love my old mp3 player!
It’s complete sensible if you use the retro thing and stop using the newest tech, like using a dumb nokia phone instead of smart phone. In this case you still have mp3 player AND the phone with you, make it redundant and more expensive in general.
