Depends on what you expect them to do exactly. Today’s transistors aren’t much different than older ones, just smaller mainly. People of, say, 20-30 years ago may have the technology to inspect them (electron microscope or something like that), and the knowledge to understand them, but not the equipment to reproduce them.
If you go much farther back in time, say before integrated circuits (1960) or even transistors (1947) were invented, I think it’s unlikely that someone could reverse engineer the thing

Easy, just invert the polarity of the microwaves
Also .jar files. And good ol’ winamp skins. And CBZ comics. And EPUB books. And Mozilla extensions. And APK apps. And…
Stop! Don’t give them ideas!
Did you consider a powerline extender?
My bad. But I think we haven’t seen the full extent of it yet
Wrong. The next terrible thing is mass-AI-generated propaganda and disinformation. Like in the “dead internet” theory
The “dead internet” is getting closer

If you need constant reassurance that the earth is still there
Let’s look at history repeat itself
Happy cake day!
We’re only halfway through 2023, but I already decided to make “enshittification” word of the year for me.
Actually, screw that! Make it word of the decade!
If it keeps all the n00bs in one place, I’m all for it
It’s mostly not your fault. Apps, games, and socials are intentionally designed to be addictive. That’s because the more time you spend on them, the more ad revenue the owners make.
If sheer willpower doesn’t work, find other ways around it. Someone else already suggested going to a library or another place, that’s good advice. Of you phone is an issue, you could turn it off and allow yourself to turn it back on after you’ve been productive for an hour, or after you have achieved a specific goal.
