Yes, I think this bit was a bit over-egged:
If you work as a field tech, or on a space station, or in a submarine or something, then okay, sure, this is a huge feature for you.
I'm not an astronaut or a submariner, but I do fly in the cheap seats on commercial aircraft - sometimes to places where roaming data is eye-wateringly expensive.

Having fast access to history is something I don't want to miss. On top of that, having it all locally allows for more uses like searching through history and more advanced features.
