One counter point is young people drive the technology trends. Look at how social media and the Internet in general took off in the early 2000-2010s, it was driven by younger generations using these technologies. Now everyone is on social media after the younger generations at the time pioneered it.

If younger generations do rejected apps, smart phones, and surveillance capitalism, maybe there could be change in the direction.
