Honestly, I work for an iot Mobile network provider, the amount of devices that will brick if 2G will be turned off is massive. Especially the cheaper ones that only have 2G/3G modems on board. And not only are they the most likely to brick, but also the most unlikely to be fixed.
In Germany nearly everyone can drive manual. Used to be that if you didn't learn how to drive manual in driving school, you weren't allowed to drive manual with your license.
