It actually wouldn’t be hard at all to transition to lower impact technologies in a lot of places if people were okay with not electrifying/connecting everything possible.
I would assume the push to connect everything under the sun is driven more by cheap electronics and corporate marketing teams rather than actual consumer demand. Making products “smart” is cheaper and more profitable than making them better quality. Go figure.
this is neither what smelting is or what CVD is. smelting goes from oxide to metal, and uses carbon monoxide at ~atmospheric pressure for that. early smelting was used for smelting, but early purification method was forging. there’s Mond process, but it’s not smelting. CVD occurs in vacuum and uses something probably rather reactive on its own that decomposes on target surface, sometimes giving one atomic layer at a time, and it doesn’t have to be metal

I work in a fab and I assure you CVD is not like smelting…you gave me a chuckle though!
The internet is a series of tuuuubes!!!
But think of the shareholders!!! The poor billionaire shareholders!!!
