I'm sympathetic to arguments from those pointing out my personal privilege and how it doesn't apply to them. But I take issue with the infantilization of lower middle-class people. Not oversleeping or calculating how much data you're using is not a privilege issue, these things are knowable and predictable. It's offensive to all the working class people who do manage their time and finances to keep their head above water to suggest otherwise.
