It’s the same logic as “why do homeless people have phones?”. it’s a one time purchase. It’s not going to cover ongoing rent.
But yeah, also a problem.

Not really a good comparison. In modern times, a smart phone is a basic necessity and can be that persons only connection to their friends, family and work opportunities. A digital sign in the lobby of a school doesn’t hold nearly the same utility.

Then a necklace. Whatever.
Poor people are allowed to have nice things occasionally.
