> Most people use the internet for entertainment, people can survive watching Netflix at 1080p/720p, it isn't debilitating. If I'm wrong in my assessment, give me use cases where you require fast internet in a rural area.

Lots of desire for more automation and data surrounding agriculture, for starters.

More generally, people work through internet applications. If you want to check your email, type up a document, have Zoom calls, etc., you need to do so through the internet. If you don't have fast internet, you can count on being less productive.

None of those things you listed require internet faster than required to stream Netflix at 1080p.

That still would be faster than dialup, older generations of satellite internet, and some tiers of DSL service can provide, and there are still areas where those are the options.
