Does anybody really use it over the network?
Yes. I use it from a Linux virtual machine to a Windows host running VcXsrv, and I suspect plenty of others use it from WSL to Windows.

And ignore the cloud. Ship the backup HDD/tape in a sealed padded box, and pay someone to keep the backups in some storage place, and ship them back after some months, so you can verify the seals and the reliability of the storage.
Or forget the seals and use encryption.
Works for the cloud, too.
fsync is god.awful.slow.
Are you using it on a SSD with the 'discard' mount option? If yes, that's what's making the fsyncs horribly slow.
Personally I don't use the discard option but I run fstrim from a cron job once a week to TRIM the SSD. Works like a charm.
(Also, once you mount a SSD root with -o discard, remounting it using -o remount,nodiscard will not fix the fsync problem. A reboot is required.)
Having a 'right' to Internet would require this to be an obligation upon businesses that would have to provide this entitlement, obviously this would make it into an 'essential' service and the prices, by the way, would immediately be much higher than what they are now.
