I was responding to a similar attitude. We can pretend caring about shit internet is important for software makers. Sometimes it is. Usually it isn't. Simply saying "it should be different" and then pretending that it is, is equally silly.
We are firmly in "wishing for a better world" territory. Others wish that other people cater to their shitty connections. I feel that that would anchor us to shitty connections, so I wish for fewer shitty connections.
It's all pipedreams anyway.
And yes, we probably should be doing that. But in the meanwhile those places still exist, and will continue to exist for quite some time.
