That's not what my objection is about ๐
Of course low power consumption is important
My point is about depending an independent peer-to-peer off-grid network on one specific technology
E.g. imagine if TCP/IP, BGP, or HTTP were proprietary (instead of owned by standards organizations), and in order to connect to the Internet you would need to buy a network card that is licensed from the TCP/IP company! But since that's not the case, people can connect to the Internet using any technology they want (Wi-Fi, Ethernet), but as long as their device uses TCP/IP, anyone can connect with anyone
(PS maybe there is a better physical layer or routing example than the above ๐ค But I think the principle still stands)
