To add on about the post with Wireshark. Most deductions like this is done with a multitude of testing environments, not just one user who we at face value allow him to say "I know what I'm talking about due to my field" which is fine.

But it's NOT fine that we take that as the ONLY piece of evidence and having a thread that tells us "CONCRETE PROOF".

That's not how this should EVER work given we have people playing on different platforms, and not everyone was participating with this study and trying out different environmentals.

That said, I do believe more than one factor is at play, and not just someone's internet and it's possible SE may have overlooked other things.

But the way there's people hanging on to this as the proof is bothersome. It reminds me greatly when the mass of people saw some reddit post about people crashing zones through Gathering clusters (when it wasn't even the case) and were hacking due to the amount they were getting. They were literally harassing YouTubers from ONE person's post.
