That was the same for mobile internet connections on a phone before Apple suddenly made that desirable to the mainstream. Also I remember ungodly terrible experiences getting data from a PC to a phone and vice versa with Samsung's software in an era before smartphones. Both things are nowadays most basic features. So, having at least kind of functioning SIM slots in notebooks is already a promising PoC.
I wholeheartedly agree. More so: I do not only think, we will need a new, open mobile platform, but also feel such a great urge for it myself, that I will migrate to something alternative as soon as my mobile phone reached its EOL. I don't know how exactly that will look like, but I am eager to accept every inconvenience to escape un-free big tech.
