I really do admire you for sticking to your guns. Unfortunately it's impossible for most people unless they live a very off grid lifestyle. Most of us at best can only limit ourselves to all but necessary apps. I really hate having to download apps unless I have no choice. And if I only need something temporarily. I make sure to delete them until I have no choice but to use them again. I also think I'm able to live that way only because I'm older GenX and also work for myself. Not so easy for younger generations into the future.
