Going full luddite is counter-productive
A historical context Luddite would probably be destroying datacentres presently, we might have a thing or two to learn from them.
You denying yourself a tech-advantage while they get to keep theirs isn't a good idea
means the actual Luddite movement, not luddite the word as used today, there's a bit more nuance there. Go on, read the wiki...
