At a very low level, I think it has to do with the motivations of whomever controls the code. At a very basic level, pitting your human brain directly against someone else's computer is a setup for defeat.

At the high level, I think we will see a more divergence / degeneralization of devices [0]. Your "phone" should be a separate item from your social media procrasturbation device. We all want some form of the latter, just not buzzing in our pocket.

In the middle? That's the (zero) million dollar question.

(I hope the next wave will be via repurposing older hardware with a Free and surveillance-resistant operating environment, but my fingers are crossed!)
