Someone should coin this as a law: "All problems on the internet will be solved with more bandwidth."

Everything else will turn out to be a configuration burden, control plane load problem, security issue, hard to debug (especially after the fact, impossible) and so on.

Bandwidth and NPUs with designed-in minimal latency are easy to metric, easy to measure, easy to deploy, easy to implement and so on. They have very predictable behaviors.

Reality is that we are entering a phase where networks can be vastly simplified. MPLS is going, SR is here for the time being, QoS is dying, multicast dead, SDWAN is going to be a thing for a few more years then dead, and so on.
