I empathize with the feeling of living a simpler, happier life, but living like a hobbit would suck for a lot of us.

Indoor plumbing, sewage, electricity and internet, are all way more important to the kind of people who are on this site than they might expect. In addition to that, if you've never lived in the countryside, rural living and basic peasant subsistence farming is fucking awful. You are constantly working maintenance and rebuilding damaged property. You're always dirty, smelly, and tired.

but like rural people have plumbing, electricity, and internet? the internet one is absolutely trivial nowadays with 4g routers

I am pretty sure 4g isn't really viable for most rural areas.

here's the 4g coverage in sweden for the Telia network, how much more rural do you want to get? siberia?

Yeah our coverage maps look pretty good too. However, in practice the service can be very hit and miss... mostly miss.
