Setting up Samba doesn't require hours of study, most users can just use a howto.

Now, setting up nfs4... wtf. just to get one machine able to mount from one other machine took like four attempts, every doc I read telling me how to do it was different. And no there weren't four different ways to make it work, three of them were just wrong.

And what if I want to use Firefox for my System Webview instead of Chrome? Or Chromium for that matter?

Yes, that's a problem, but you're acting like it's a new problem, and it's not. Also, if you get a rootable device, you can do that on Android. I'd like it to be generally possible for everyone of course, but at least it's possible.

The idea is not to count on a wire.

What if there is a clog (e.g. from a failed hose liner) or a crimped hose and brake pressure doesn't release when it is supposed to? It used to be the job of the man in the caboose to know that. Now it's FRED's. It's also his job to detect over pressure or failing pressure that will stop the train at a potentially inconvenient time if not addressed.

It would be nice to have both a wire and a wireless connection, but one of the ideas was clearly to avoid needing another connection between cars.
