Much like with “We can’t have online activation DRM, that isn’t steam, because people are active duty military who are overseas!”: Yes, there are people who are going to be negatively impacted by this. But they are very over emphasized and mostly used as a tool for those with other grievances.
Because if you have an emergency hidden phone? You turn that shit off when you aren’t using it.
