Yeah, from my PoV it's a lot like when MAMEdevs get annoyed at the, "Why no full speed N64?" questions. There are inherent limitations of physics, regulatory issues, power budget limitations, and countless trade-offs. And the complaints are coming from people who'd have no chance of doing it better if they ever tried. But believe me I get just as pissed off as you do when my WiFi doesn't work - knowing exactly how/why it works (or doesn't) makes no difference.
