To be honest you just seem to be coming up with impractical/unrealistic and idealistic counter arguments.

Does anyone really go to that much effort just so they can be offline?

Don't get me wrong, if I was going to a remote place without internet and needed to do some coding there, your suggestions make sense, even though I think there are pitfalls to that approach as then you're working off "static data/comments,etc" which might require further context or more recent context, which you'll need the Internet for.
