For one-time things. Yes, you can do individual tickets for trains and busses but even in the short term that will cost you more than owning a bus or train pass which requires a phone to use the app. Taxis can be called but you're typically paying more money than any Uber you can take so you're ultimately wasting money if that's even remotely something you do often.
If I want to order medicine I have to go through Fullscript which can be done on my computer, but when I need to access it in the doctor's office to bring up my medications at a moment's notice or order stuff in the office then what?
Multiple doctors that I have gone to or currently am going to require me to use their portals which I sometimes have to cross-reference during the visits otherwise I'm just wasting money in the visit not having certain questions answered during it. If I had a dumb phone I could not access these during the visit.
If I have randomized passwords through a password manager (Which you absolutely should) that requires an app on your phone since not everything is done through web browsers that can save your password, and on a dumb phone if you need to access your account then what?
Unless you plan on paying 10+ cents more per gallon not using Gas Buddy and instead driving around for cheaper prices is idiotic.
If I go downtown in my state or work there they do not have physical menus at all in the major restaurants, only digital ones. The fancy restaurants in particular. Fast food have them at least.
In your use cases maybe it doesn't matter, but the general experience of life it would matter, especially from a cost perspective. Not having a smartphone means you will spend more money that could have been saved from just using an app in various aspects of your life and even in a year or two would pay for itself if you use a train or a bus for example.
