    inadvertently

    I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

        Do I think it’s intentional that smartphones are ‘dumbed down’ compared to PCs, so as to turn them into devices for mindless consumption of corporate-controlled media instead of devices for empowering user freedom? Yes, yes I do.

        I don’t think they do it to make us dumber (there are other methods for that) but to make it accessible to people who don’t already know better.

        So, in this case, inadvertent is correct; Although it’s not without side effects.
