This argument was laughed at some 10 years ago already, because everyone in the western world has good enough Internet and if you live in the middle of bumfuck, nowhere, then you should move.
What has changed in 10 years is that now Eastern Europe has good Internet too, with the exception of Estonia, where Telia is allowed to be supreme overlord of deciding who gets fiber and who doesn't. Spoiler alert: If you don't live in a building with 20+ apartments, they don't really care much about getting fiber to your building.
To make matters even more ironic, we're supposed to be the tiny IT powerhouse of Europe and even the whole world. Well then why the hell does it take me 10+ minutes to download a fresh dockerized Java/Kotlin project's dependencies from Maven at home?! And 5+ minutes for any individual Cargo project even if it's not dockerized because it seems Cargo doesn't even have a central local cache like Maven does, it's per project.
