Looking at my own digital dependency and comparing it to people I know, although being personally more of a tech geek than most, I find my dependency of technology lower.
Hardware wise, I tend to run everything I buy until it is rendered completely unuseable or it breaks down. This obviously ties with my preference towards FOSS but I think it is more of a tangent.
Services wise, I am a complete outlier. I never subscribed to a streaming service, I was quick to leave mainstream social media behind, I never boarded fads around wearables. Most applications that inhabit my acquaintances smartphones don’t find a way to mine (Whatsapp, Amazon, Aliexpress, Uber, UberEats, etc).
This is the most extreme part of my behaviour but I have refused services that do not have a means of contact/interaction besides an application.
And I do not feel inconvinienced in my day to day life by this.
There is definitely a chunk of services I’m dependent on because of need. The most important is probably a password manager. I know they can be self-hosted. And while I’m technically inclined enough to be able to do it, I don’t trust myself to be able to maintain it, so I rely on the provider’s service.
Another would be maps and navigation, because traffic in my city is so unpredictable that I always use navigation even on familiar routes in case of an accident or road closure and I need to divert.
The wants on the other hand (i.e. streaming services) are more for convenience rather than dependency.
