1) The point is when something is so widespread and touches every faucet of one�s lives where almost no one in any civilized society doesn�t use it for every aspect, you can�t say it�s not a necessity. That�s just living in a bubble.
2) it�s not like a flying car which only has one feature. It�s so impactful and integral.
3) Re no matter how dangerous it is? Sure then build safe rails and protection. Just like a car has safety features. But that doesn�t mean it�s not a necessity just because it�s dangerous.
4) But what about religion ? This is a frum site. Again yes so build safe protection. But religion doesn�t make it not a necessity. It doesn�t change a metzius. (Unless your religion is a cult that brainwashes)
5) no matter how unsafe it is? Yes no matter how unsafe it�s so part of life now that you can�t live without it . It circles back to the same point so add safety features but that doesn�t make it less a necessity. (As a side note the way you make it sound like, anyone who touches it will die in a ruchnyus sense is nonsense. Sure it has risks . But most people are still responsible . It�s not level of some atom bomb. That doesn�t mean that some won�t slip but you make it sound like it will nuke everyone. Now to be clear again for the some that will slip you�ll build guardrails)
This all boils down to one flawed logic. Because it has ruchnyas risks, you chose to say it�s not a necessity when the entire world runs on it in every way of our life. From shopping to banking to earning a living, to even learning Torah m, checking in on airlines , research, cars, waze appliances etc. This is just a partial list. It�s so flawed to say it�s not a necessity because of a religious risk. That doesn�t change the metzuis.
To be clear we aren�t debating the need for filters rather for devices . And yes it�s fair to demand that TAG pay for it and stop being so stuck up about it. (I suspect you work for them)
Lastly, please don�t use fancy English . I am not as educated as you. It�s just confusing gotcha words
