My mother struggles with a firestick, thinks you need the TV on for the WiFi to work (long story) but even she wouldn't keep on a mission like this every time a relevant story gets published because she would recognise the plusses outweigh the odd hickup, even if she gets confused between mobile data and needs a screenshot with a circle drawn around the emoji button to find them.l when texting.

You can be technologically inferior and still see sense.
For years my mother in law would send texts that were just a long string of characters. The lack of a space bar on her (non smart) mobile was too much, but she still managed.
Last month she asked me to save her hairdressers phone number into her phone. Not a problem. She had 19 numbers already saved to her phone - 18 of them were my wife's number and the other was her hairdressers😁
She is a spritely 83 year old mind and managed to book herself 4 flu jabs on line last week.
She may get things wrong but she certainly gives technology a go.
