Me. Linux distros (either install media or straight live boot disks like Tails), moving files larger than like fucking 2gb without relying on spyware or self hosting a cloud service, redundant backups of your most important files, rescue disks, and MORE! Only $16.99 for a limited time while supplies last see comment for details.
I don’t have internet spawning from my ass, so it works better in non-connected environments.
More importantly I have no fucking clue what any of that means, but I can plug rectangle into rectangle hole. And absolutely 0 “how to install linux” tuts come with your set-up, so I’m gonna guess most new people don’t know how to either. “Do network magic because some dickhead wants to remove all ports” isn’t going to be a selling point for them.
Can I SCP my dad the pictures of my vacation from 3 states away? Maybe. Would he prefer I mail him a “zip drive?” Yes. Not everyone on earth is a 1337 H4x0r like yourself there zero cool.
You really need your monthly 3rd redundant backup of your .kdbx file to be lightning fast? I can wait the .03 seconds it takes to transfer I’m not in as much of a hurry as you.

Yeah, if you’re in the middle of a desert, Antarctica or in some jungle then I can imagine. But the majority of people who are not on a safari somewhere and live in a normal, populated area will have internet practically everywhere. You’d have to go out of your way to find a place without internet.

Then maybe just buy a Mac and get 99% of the benefits of a *nix system without needing the appropriate knowledge.

He would prefer you sending him a simple WhatsApp message with your pictures instead of having to mess with a thumb drive.

No. I need my hourly incremental backup of my entire drive to be fast.

What’s the advantage of using a slow USB drive instead of just network-booting the install media or mounting it through IPMI?
Just send the data between machines using SCP, much easier and faster.
Backups you do either to a NAS or to a Thunderbolt-connected SSD, not a USB-A drive. Again, much too slow to use a USB drive.
Why spend 30 minutes setting up the networking when I could just plug in the USB and go do something else for 5 minutes?
