There is probably a "law" enshrined somewhere: Bandwidth is like closet
space, demand will always manage to exceed capacity.

they’ve seen that no matter how much bandwidth you give a customer, they
will eventually figure out how to use it. (whether they realize it or
not… I guess it just happens)

I think it's spot on.
In years past it made more sense to distribute smaller , incremental
patches. More work on the software side, but it was likely a better
option than getting blasted on Twitter because "OMG I WANT TO PLAY
AND MY DOWNLOAD IS TAKING 8 HOURS".
This just follows the same rules as networks have always seemed to;

There’s also the “we will stream you all the data things” I keep
hearing about like the
Consoles without discs or some other thing I can’t remember the
name of.
I think this is a tribute to how we’ve built and upgraded
networks for capacity and speed.
