How is designing for laptop networking for a system predominantly used as a server with marginal desktop market share justified. Why not roll out something discrete for the negligible percent of laptop users instead of imposing configuration overhead on all users?
Debian prides itself on stability but voted for an 'init' that is rapidly changing with unlimited scope outside the purview of Debian. Thus we have a lot of extremely questionable networking functionality like 'predictable network names' and more just rolled out and 'imposed' on everyone without discussion, debate or technical scrutiny by a single group.
Alpine Linux servers and VMs boot in seconds and are easy to configure and use. Void is equally fast for desktop users. The real problem seems to be a lot of developers are unfamiliar with the shell and its extensive use in everything from the system to the apps ecosystem. And we are left with a situation where the shell is demonized by people who are not familiar with it.
