I have my phone so i can phone for help. I have my wallet so I can pay for things.
> If I lose my phone it's the same bad day as if you lose yours, a potentially expensive device went missing
Nope, because its like everything that could happen to me happening at once.
You have a lot less backup.

No, because I can still drive home even if I lose my phone.
If you lose your wallet, you're not buying the groceries. If you lose your keys, those groceries aren't getting home anytime soon.
And even then, this is still a massively rare occurrence. How often do you smash your phone on the ground, daily? Weekly? Monthly? I'll gladly trade a slightly less convenient day once a decade+ for having to deal with all this business of having to carry extra junk every day of my life.
