Oh I bet you could steelman telephony networks so well too:
“People communicate mainly by voice -> telephones are cheap, commodity hardware you can just plug in and be done -> nothing complex or difficult like lasers or microchips needed -> well-understood and 'proven'”.
If you don’t consider the entire system or even all uses cases telephony might actually just win out in a comparison of technologies.
