In one picture

A phone out of the box already does the basics — calls, texts, a browser. It becomes your phone the moment you install a small, chosen set of apps: banking, maps, a note tool, one game. The point is not to install every app in the store, it is to install the ones that match your actual life. Cowork works the same way. The base workspace already collaborates and remembers; plugins are the "apps" your team installs to shape it into the tool your specific project needs — and, just like phones, the temptation to install too many is the main way it gets slow and confusing.
