You're right, it's not. Clear as day full screen HD video chats over cellular connections are now an expectation, when in 2004 you were relived to see your BBM message get delivered in less then 5 minutes.
I agree the players wanted that, or a faction of them did, but I don't think it matters in 2004 or 2020, when you as a professional athlete get that close to the pinnacle of why you play, any players want more distractions entering into their life, not less, when you get to the semifinals and Finals.
But, they can't have families be entering the bubble in the earlier rounds, because there are that many more teams still in said bubble and the risks are obviously higher.
