> to the faster, cheaper, more reliable WiFi

This is far from universally true and a wonderful illustration of why multipath is great: I frequently see wifi where the back link is down or behind a payment gateway, requiring me to turn off wifi to get a reliable connection. This is sadly common at conferences where the venue skimped on AP placement and left entire rooms at max range or with inadequate backhaul.

The true beauty of MPTCP is that you don't need to make assumptions and hope — instead we can let the kernel sort things out based on the current environment.
