Everyone who is using a phone knows that what you are saying is not true. Otherwise we would not experience dropped calls, connection resets and mobile data being unavailable. Mobile networks are unreliable and you can't paper it over with some magic on TCP or HTTP2/3 level. EDIT: better yet, anyone can just use network tools on their smartphone to see for themselves that mobile networks do drop TCP packets, UDP packets and ICMP packets very freely. Just check yourself!

Huh? I'm not talking about papering over it on the TCP or HTTP/2 level. I'm talking about the actual physical radio protocols, and my message could not be more explicit about it.

If you don't understand something, it'd be more productive to ask questions than just make shit up like that.

You made a claim that packet loss in mobile networks is not a common occurrence. This claim is patently wrong and anyone with a smartphone can see for themselves.
