this is not a discussion for this thread, but you're looking at it wrong. The instant access is the reason why. Think of that access (phones) as an extension of people. An SD cards for humans, so to speak. Musk had a very good take on the podcast with Joe Rogan

And as to why there are 360 degrees in a circle, it's probably because 6 equilateral triangles fit inside a circle, and the angle was divided into 60 degrees for the reason quoted above.

Don't an infinite number of overlapping equilateral triangles fit inside a circle?
