A defensible answer requires treating tool choice as a person-by-tool interaction, not as a universal ranking. The strongest available evidence here is contextual: a qualitative study identifies independent living, behavioural options, personal attitudes, and social influence as determinants of use. That framework implies a contingent model. “Better” should mean higher sustained task fit under a defined cognitive, social, technical, and governance context. Comparative trials, retention data, migration costs, and failure rates would be needed before making population-wide claims.
