I reeeeeaallly hate how almost all people see fast travel at plane speeds as a commodity and a basic need. It just isn’t true, every flight is borrowed from our future, most of the other citizens of this world don’t have access, and still people are like “8 h instead of 4 h for 1000km just isn’t practical” yeah! Because it’s 1000km why does everybody think their entitled to traveling by jet, when this has been a luxury not present in history, not present for most people that live right now and will not be present in the climate crisis that is our current future…

Once a luxury is present for long enough, it becomes normal. You cannot be angry at masses of people for wanting to enjoy their life.
Your points are not invalid, it’s not sustainable and likely won’t be for some time, but many things are a luxury only available to a few in the present (e.g. MRI scans, 50" TVs, car capable of going +100km/h, 3+ electronic devices per person). No one is ready to give up their luxuries, especially when others still have more.
