Of course, but there are instances of the opposite. I encounter both from time to time. For example I want to show someone a video while having a drink, usually it doesn't have to be crisp 4K 60fps, just play the god damn thing before we lose interest. Other times I want to watch a video, I'm in the middle of nowhere anyway, I have time and data in the monthly cap, just not enough bandwidth.

User choice and smart defaults would go a long way.
