One problem is that developers have the best hardware and Internet because "it's their job", so they are completely biased. A bit like rich people tend to not understand what it means to be poor. The other problem is that nobody in the software industry gives a damn. Everyone wants to make shiny apps with the last shiny tech. Try to mention optimizing for slow hardware/Internet and look at the face of your colleagues, behind their brand new M3. I worked in a company with some remote colleagues in Africa. There were projects that they could literally not build, because it would require downloading tens of GB of docker crap multiple times a week for no apparent reason. The solution was to not have those colleagues work on those projects. Nobody even considered that maybe there was something to fix somewhere.
