Until very recently, satellite broadband was unobtanium for most leisure sailors. It's much cheaper now, but $800 for an Iridium Go hotspot and $124/mo for service is still steep for leisure sailors who might occasionally need to send an email at sea. Any bluewater boat should have a decent HF rig for safety, so adding a Winlink system is basically free.
