This article assumes people are primarily accessing these things at home. Maybe for most apps / websites that’s appropriate but people access these things internet on phones in places where connections can be spotty, and it’s very frustrating to be driving through a dead zone and have apps freak out. I hope people making apps to unlock cars or other critical things that you might need at 1am on a road trip in the middle of nowhere don’t have this attitude of “everyone has reliable internet these days!” Concrete example: I made an app for Prospect Park in Brooklyn that had various features that were meant to be accessed while in the park which had (has?) very spotty cell service, so it was designed to sync and store locally using an eventually consistent DB, even with things that needed to be uploaded.
