"Isn't an unstable network experience better than no network experience?"
Yes, you would think ... but that is not the case.
QA and design of modern mobile apps and software - and even devices and appliances - neglects the testing of bad network connectivity.
Both my physical Sonos devices and, for instance, the apple-provided podcasts app, can handle being fully offline reasonably well. On the other hand, if you start dropping ~50% of packets they lose their mind and (in the case of Apples podcast app) freeze or crash.
