I think you answered the critical-use only situation quite well - don't get a smartphone (computer). It's not that boot time doesn't matter to anyone, but I made my comment in that way to exaggerate the absurdity of caring about boot time before everything else is fixed. There are so many other actual issues out there that matter more before that does.

I have mixed feelings on priorities, to a large extent speeding up boot time involves finding a way to not need to do things at boot, and that ends up paying dividends overall, not just at boot time.
Linux on Grandma's phone Posted Aug 31, 2010 17:04 UTC (Tue) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link]
If the cell carriers can eke out enough additional revenue per low-end subscriber using "crapware", then the Android phone becomes the free-with-service phone, and the fast-booting phone vanishes from the market. So it's reasonable to start making Android usable for Grandma's emergency glove compartment phone now.
