Yeah, agreed. WAGOs are awesome and look factory professional, but wire nuts are still used most of the time - easier to come by and still cheaper (although WAGOs are becoming very affordable).
The trick to wire nuts is simple; use the correct wire size, which can be mixed but follow the spec from the manufacturer’s website, strip all wires to the same recommended exposure length, and the most important part; do not twist your wires together - insert them straight all at the same height and begin twisting the wire nut until there are two to three rotations in your wires below the nut.
The packaging usually says you can pre-twist the wires if you like, although maybe that’s just the manufacturers yielding to the massive inertia of older tradespeople. This Old House says the same thing. I dunno, I don’t pre-twist.
Internet? I mean maybe countrywide, but it’s a big country with ruralness. I download from steam at a 900+ megabytes per second. Bytes not bits. Is that considered bad? what do you get? I used to only get like 600 until a hardware upgrade so I’m still sure I have bandwidth to spare. its usually takes seconds or minutes to get any game.
Then something is wrong - like not using the correct size

The WAGO install is faster than the damn wire nuts.
You don’t have to convince me, just giving wire nut folks a tip
Not just digital banking, internet and healthcare that the US is over a decade behind on then? 😂

The prices are definitely bad. Not that I can criticise…
