In a similar vein, I also get bothered by the unrealistic fact that there are never compatibility issues between any given device/technology.
Since we are talking about The Expanse, I think a great example is whatever protocol allows for characters to physically fling data from their devices to other people's devices with a simple swipe.
I'll ignore the fact that sometimes they do this in city streets where they are surrounded by many potential recipients and somehow always deliver the payload to the right person...
But how likely is it that every single device's manufacturer implements that protocol in the same, non-proprietary way?
Because somebody, somewhere, finally got their shit together and decided that it's not a protocol without two independent implementations and a continually updated conformance test suite.
It's the future. It might happen.
It bugs me but not enough not to enjoy the show. ;)
