The reality is that some people are addicted to their device just like an alcoholic is addicted to booze. :
I believe it has been disclosed the tech companies made a lot of effort to design the use of the apps to reward the subconscious "pleasure" centers of the human brain, so yes, I believe "addiction" is a real factor here, some have enough self control, or satisfy their pleasure needs otherwise, nobody is immune.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
