Honestly, in a properly designed WiFi6 or 7 network with sufficient ap density the average user experience will likely be better than most end station wired connections these days. Especially if that wired network includes a bunch of these bad boys.
This is a very cheap network switch that serves as a great example of shadow IT happening in most companies. Because they were cheap and just about any computer store had them in stock, it was generally faster for an employee who had ran out of network ports to run out and grab one of these than to request proper network upgrades from the IT department. Sadly, because they are not very fast and lack features needed to prevent network disruption due to misconfigured wiring, they cause lots and lots of headaches for the IT team over time.
A good starting point to learn about physical networking would probably still be to grab a recent set of Cisco CCNA prep books and give those a read.
The old adage “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution” still applies.
If the business relies on the availability of the thing that’s receiving a temporary fix, you can be your ass someone, somewhere, is declining the downtime to fix it properly once it’s up and running.
This is at least in large part how the locking down of smartphones began. People either weren’t around yet or don’t remember how much of a wild west smartphones were for malware, scams, etc. when they first reached mass market uptake. There was a while there where companies were blocking smartphones from their networks because of the security risks.
It took Apple and their closely integrated/walled garden approach and insistence to sway the perception. And that’s what other manufacturers then decided to emulate.
