My wife hasn’t erased herself from the internet but she did switch to a flip phone and has experienced such a positive life change that I’m actually in the process of buying such a phone for myself.

literally the only thing I would miss about having a feature phone is a decent web browser
Sadly, decent web browsers can still access hell sites (facebook, etc), so she needed something that emphatically could not access the internet traditionally.
Edit: oh i misunderstood. The thing holding me back is easy access to podcasts.
1,000% valid, I consider my need of a web browser on my phone a personal failing
