Agreed, and it is a tragedy that this requires snapd.
I was not refuting that, yes drivers can control the LED since forever. The original comment was "the link light is powered by the switch", which I'm saying is not possible. An ethernet switch (assuming it's not PoE) cannot directly power an LED on a network adapter in your PC let alone the rest of it, that's all I'm saying.
sure it depends on the design, but no standards-compliant non-PoE Ethernet design is going to light up an LED, it barely uses 1 volt.
Except neither of those things are true.

No it's not. If you don't believe me, unplug your PC's power cord and watch the light go out.
If the power cord is plugged in but the computer is shutdown, and the light is still on, then that means the network adapter supports WoL or OOB management and must stay on for that reason, but the network switch connected to the adapter is not physically powering any lights.
$700 for an N100 tablet? Yikes. I can't imagine they would sell enough to stay in business.
No, something being objective or not is still someone's opinion ultimately. And there's still no right or wrong. There's subjective and objective, though.
it objectively depends on the design of each individual phone

mesh-lined PC case would solve this
I don't trust any VPN service I don't personally control myself.
