Well, I can agree with that. But there is one problem: mainstream doesn't
care. Websites are bloated, pictures, videos everywhere, tons of JS etc.
Regarding X2Go - X11 is being obsolete, Wayland is not developed with
low-bandwidth remote access in mind, modern GUI toolkits make heavy use of
bitmaps etc.
All that leaves not so much choice - transfer bitmaps, bitmaps and more
bitmaps. Compress them, cache, etc, but use bitmaps.

// Offtopic: as we joke - Ukraine has good and very cheap internet just
because there is no Ministry of Internet here :)
