I plan on going though all these points you have cause while I agree generally there’s some aspects I think are too strong. 

First one — “the trade-offs in an African environment are slightly different from the trade-offs in the western world”

The trade offs referenced are usually around infrastructure, intermittent internet connections, electricity, transport (shipments and land).

Additionally the income opportunities, education/exposure and earnings are factors which impact the way technology is built.
