This reminds me a ton about the studies showing harm to children's future mental health as a result of growing up poor. I definitely "hoard" data locally because I grew up with accessing BBSs at 1200 baud, moving up thru dial-uo Internet, and eventually shitty DSL. Services and products that rely on constant access to the Internet strike me as dodgy and likely to fail as a result of my "upbringing".
