Side note: in Thailand and the Philippines, at least, mobile internet is blazing fast and not more expensive.

As someone living in one of those countries, I beg to differ. Cheap maybe, but mobile internet is neither fast nor stable.
I'm guessing that's Philippines :-] It's still been good enough for me to get work done, video calls, etc. And mostly better than hotel/coffee shop WiFi.
It's mostly the metal roofs everywhere blocking the signal.
That's not universally true in all areas for both countries though.
In Vietnam it is also fast.
