What I've found missing were references to packet loss impact on
performance. It seems to assume cable/fiber environments with little
to no packet loss, while Wi-Fi and 3G/4G/5G  are not like that.

Wireless environments tend to do L2 retransmission, so they express
packet loss as jitter (random change in latency) instead of actual
loss. If you're seeing loss, it's generally on a wired segment.
