Who said anything about people making decisions for you?
You want to make decisions without first understanding the facts?
How things work?
Why some things are not the best but okay, some are worse, and some are 100% lechatchila?
Do you say that you don’t want to hear anything about the differences in food hechsherim, what different shitos hold, why something might sound problematic but can actually be lechatchila, and therefore since you’re living in yehupitzville without chalav yisroel anywhere near, the right thing for you might be to eat chalav stam?
(Some do say that, but what they mean is that they either don’t care enough to keep to anything above the bare minimum standards, or that they want a better standard, but don’t have patience learning all the facts and halachos, and just want to be told what to do.)
Do you rely on yours and Geminis medical knowledge, or ask the opinion of a professional who knows better than you?
(Although that’s a bad example, since by medical things things are a lot more often black & white, with no decisions for you to make yourself unless you want to be stupid, while by tech, there are a lot more grey areas and room for you to make your own decisions, once you know the facts.)
When people say kosher tech, they mean one of two things:
No treif content.
That’s it.
Kosher content only, with the shitos of the digital minimalists thrown in.
There’s a reason kosher tech and dumb tech get conflated so often.
If kosher meant in content only, everyone would be fine with smartphones locked down to talk and text only, and the kosher tech scene would have very little in common with r/dumbphones.
But that’s not what it used to be about.
Unfortunately, the second piece somehow got lost at some point, and now it’s shifting to the second part, hence Mind phones and Fig phones being trumpeted as just as good as a Kyocera.
We could talk about what people currently care about and what they want, and what the masses generally mean when they say kosher, but it’s a fact that when kosher tech was pushed, at least for around the first decade, the idea was as I’m saying.
Why else didn’t we just filter smartphones?
Why did the gedolim push ani choimah or talk only phones?
Why do so many continue to use Garmins?
Why did people make so much noise when 3G was phased out?
