The same might be true for any given king; that doesn’t make him any less of a king. The Vatican City is officially an absolute monarchy.
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Isn’t it true that Amish people can and will use technological devices belonging to others, e.g. accepting rides in cars or using a neighbor’s phone in an emergency? They’re not anti-technology per se, they’re simply more careful with regard to the extent they allow their lives to depend on it. I don’t make the same choice myself, but I can understand their views, somewhat.
