Not really; if I unplug a cable, connections break; but if I plug it back in they can and should resume much faster than 6 seconds.

And what about a five minute "blip"? Arguably it should resume proper operations as soon as the link goes back up, not some (unknown to user) time afterwards.

Yes but event driven is way different. That should be instant because the software can be told by the system that connectivity was restored and respond immediately since it’s aware of the hardware being plugged in.
