this means we need more visibility on what's sucking up so much data. and then we need to start boycotting and deleting any and all apps that insist on wasting so much data. i bet, those services and sites that are so huge will quickly clean up their act once we all stop using them. Or they'll just go out of business and we can choose some better ones.

But why? Packets aren't finite. We only care about how much data because they're charging for it, not because it's relevant.

If someone charged based on how long packets were in transit on their network or the time under load, wouldn't those provide similar but better outcomes?
