This is a very interesting dimension, I didn’t really put 2-and-2 together before regarding this. It does seem like this is poised to be less and less of the case soon though, as airlines partner with starlink and the like, and are able to improve speeds.

I personally still often choose to not connect to in flight WiFi, even though through cell plan benefits I have free in flight WiFi on almost every flight I get on. To me, flights are this unique chance where I’m forced to be disconnected, given that at least currently speeds are not quite good enough to actually be super productive, and where it’s also socially acceptable and understandable to be completely unreachable, where people won’t even try to reach you most of the time. Between what you’ve outlined, as well as my personal enjoyment of disconnecting on flights, I honestly hope that the wireless technology on planes doesn’t catch up for at least a few more years.
