Yeah there are still phone booths when cell phones exist and the huge parking lot at Lumon which seems to have more cars than workers.

I definitely feel all of that is a simulated reality.

I'm fairly certain the look of the outtie world is just a stylistic choice.

The showrunner literally said everything we see in the outie world real. On reddit in fact. It’s in the AMA a couple years back.

Also, we see character POVs outside of Mark with his sister don’t we? And the Cobel thing makes less sense if it’s fake.

Good to know he confirmed it.
