AFAIK, they are used as relays.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit
Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

My 2 cents: I have a similar relation with smartphones as yours.
In my case, what I fear the most is some app getting my contact list and using it to send some kind of “XXX has joined YYY service” notification to all of them. Also, I didn’t like that Google had all the data they wanted, so I ended with 2 smartphones:
AFAIK I’ve only had one incident because I trusted Telegram too much. There is always non-zero risk, but this works for me.
Not the first time someone says it fails.
But I cannot get it to fail, it works for me.

How long would you say it took you before getting a fundamental understanding?
I would say years, as with any complex activity.
I’m still forgetting things I learned 3 or even 4 times like how to do a for each loop.
You can forget in 2 different ways:
You will forget-1 everything which you don’t use on a daily basis. That’s what internet is for. Forgetting in the 2-nd sense is much more rare and you should do something if that’s the case.
all of it feels too advanced and I get lost on how to begin
This is a bias most of us have, you overlook how easy is for you to do things that previously were impossible and focus on how hard are the things you still don’t know how to do. And computing is so complex right now that there always be “infinite” things you don’t know.
Try showing what you know to someone who doesn’t know how to code and you will get an idea of how much you have learnt :).
Anyway, I don’t really have good advice :/, just wanted to confirm that what you feel is expected. Good luck!
