It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Bike computers are much smaller than phones. They also have mounting backs so they can be secured with a bike mount in what requires a 90° turn meaning that even if you crash going 30 mph your bike computer probably is still going to be attached to the bike AND not broken unlike a larger phone. Also they can record in a fairly universal file format that you can take your data anywhere rather than being locked into a particular app.
Over the past 10 years it's definitely gotten easier to use a phone and there's nothing super wrong with it, but if youre serious about riding then getting a dedicated bike computer is nice since it's going to be more specialized.
Kind of like you can get a multi-tool to do a lot of stuff but if you want a really good tool you might want to get the one specifically made for it.
