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
