in canada, at least my province, if you don't live in the one of the few cities, there is pisspoor internet options available. where i live, there are 2 options. one is a 1MB/s download speed, and the other is a 2MB/s download speed, and cost 70-100 dollars a month. and the faster option has a cap of 350GB/month (those are advertised speeds, you never actually get them. usually 0.8MB/s, and 1.6MB/s)
roughly two hours - 2.5hrs to download the entire file every single time, whereas an update patch would be so much easier
i can't speak for everyone, but there are people from many different places that don't have access to fast, un-capped usage internet.
what you said just sounds a bit ignorant to be honest
