This is less unusual than you think. I remember talking to a Slack engineer about how poorly Slack was handling spotty/unstable connections (commonly known as "lie-fi", i.e. you have a good connection, it may even be fast, but connections to outside services will randomly fail left and right) and how frustrating it was because messages would simply time out rather than being automatically retried. He gave me a look of pure confusion as neither he nor anyone on his team were familiar with this experience as they were all "dog-fooding" Slack in the equivalent of office environments with wired high-speed connections.
