You see the same thing in simple data consumption patterns. It's become normal for your average app to suck down tens or even hundreds of megabytes a month, even if it barely does anything. It's so normalized I figured there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it, until I noticed Nine sync'ing my Exchange inbox from scratch for something like 3MB. Then I noticed Telegram had used 3MB for a month's regular use, while Hangouts had used 10MB for five minutes of use. Despite living in the first world, I'm kind of excited for Android's Building for Billions. There's so much flagrant waste of traffic today, assuming as you say that you have a big fat broadband pipe, with no thought to tightly metered, high latency, or degraded connections. (I switched to an inexpensive mobile plan with 500MB, you see)
