I see a lot of loading even when I'm using a pretty fast broadband (fast.com says that my ISP is 350 Mbps down and 450 Mbps up). The network speed is a function of your ISP and the target host's ISP, and you can't control the latter. If you haven't actually noticed anything, you may well have avoided websites that are slow from your ISP, either by a luck or unconsciously.
Anyway, srcset is the very obvious evidence that progressive decoding is actually needed but hindered by the lack of image format features or browser supports so it settled on a compromise.
