I switched to a feature phone that has nothing to do with Android for calling (Mocor RTOS aka S30+) because I'm tired of fighting Android for the moment. I keep an unrooted smartphone at home for online banking. Kinda extreme but that's one way.

Can relate. I have a phone with stock Android and a removable battery for anything won't or I'd rather not have on my primary GrapheneOS phone. I only ever plug in the battery as needed and when I'm settled at the safety of my desk.

So if your at your desk why would you need a phone just use a laptop or desktop?

Some companies like to roll out just an app with no desktop equivalent. An Android phone with the SIM taken out is also one of the few ways to create a new Google account without disclosing your phone number nowadays.
