GenX and Millenials are the only two generations who are technically literate to know that. Your average GenZ or Alpha or whatever never learned to use a computer so it's less scary to do it on a phone.

    And then there’s also the extra friction. You would need to transfer the video files to the computer before you can even start. If you edit on the phone, all the files are already there, which is nice.

    You could wait a few hours for the cloud to finally sync, or you could just go through all the USB-C cables that don’t support reasonable data transfer rates… either way, there are some serious bottlenecks in the process. Once you get past those, it gets better, but I guess all of that is enough to deter many people from trying.
