Why are minutes and texts still listed in phone service when everything is data?

Why are cellphone networks still a thing and not handled through wireless internet?

Why are smartphones still using a different operating system than desktop computers?

probably because the government has the game in a chokehold and likes the current funnel thru which everything passes is them, so they can pass it off to our #1 ally, for strategic reasons, probably

No doubt Google and Apple like the existing arrangement too; 30% cut of all revenue through their "Marketplaces" which are monopolies for Android and iOS. Pretty sure this is what Microsoft was trying to replicate on the desktop with Windows 11. I don't think it's possible to setup a new Android or iOS smartphone without a making a Google/Apple account in the process.
