Also, we throw out billions of dollars of functional electronics when we do deliver this e-waste. If, instead, we taught people how to salvage the parts and create other objects - like you can create a 3D printer with mostly recycled parts. Then we could change this dangerous narrative and precedent that has been occurring for decades when it comes to e-waste management. We are slowly improving, but many people need to be much, much more aware of these issues.
