Usually you have control over one of them only. If you run the whole network, sure, fix that instead. But if you don't, sending fewer larger packets can actually improve the situation even if it doesn't fix it.

Fewer packets yes, but I've been on several networks where sending large packets ends up with bad reordering and dropping behavior.
