This might be the most "OK Boomer" thing I've ever read.
Landlines should not exist. They are an inferior product of a bygone age.
There's absolutely zero utility in having a landline instead of a cellphone. If you need to reach the kids, call back later, or send a text first.

You want people to have landlines so you can contact children more easily? Uh, ok then.

My parents are in their mid-70s and haven’t had a landline in 5-10 years.

Completely agree! Add a cell line (without data) with cheap phone for the home.
