The secret is that 90% of the time for 90% of people, the current method of "just in time" buffering works as good or better. Especially if you're on your phone you don't want to be paying for buffering data far into the future.

But the 10% of the time that it DOESN'T work when it usually does, really sticks in your brain so everyone has the experience of it not working now.
