Well, my initial point wasn't that bandwidth is _bad_, it isn't, but rather that the fact that ISPs got everyone, apparently including lawmakers to focus on it isn't good for our actual usages, where latency and its stability are the primary drivers or perceived performance.

It's no wonder, since bandwidth has ample room for easy improvement, while providing a good and stable ping is actually a bit difficult. But I still find it heavily biased, and a bit sad.

You're not wrong - I think we need both, modern usage patterns are already soaking up bandwidth in not-particularly-ping-sensitive applications like video streaming, but other uses absolutely do demand quality of connection and low latency.
