Very good point. We’re talking about the values of expats, who demand reliable power and networking. The values of true nomads are different. In my experience, the amount of stuff true nomads have is nontrivial if you count the herd of livestock. And minimalist expats would find nomadic culture extremely traditional.

My take is that we’re talking about minimalist expats here. While they value 21st century conveniences, they don’t value how those conveniences are maintained.

Maybe the symbolic necessity to become a digital expat destination is an Apple store. Which rules out a number of continents.
