Ah, I see you’re still missing the crux of the matter. Fair. LMK when you parse it. Good luck out there, kiddo.

While your logic seems sound on the surface, the simple omission of any insurance mentioned in the first set undermines the rationalization; including “and minimum required insurance” to said set would correct the inaccuracy, if only slightly. Good effort, though. 🖖🏼

That isn’t the technicality, though, and while that cost may be “cheap” (and fluctuate by area/provider), that’s a qualitative judgement not a quantitative value.
The first set lacked any mention of insurance (despite it being a pre-req for legal use of a motor vehicle on public ways), unlike the comparative second set that followed.
If something is going to be “cheaper than” something plus another thing, and the add-on for emphasis is actually a requirement for the former, it doesn’t exactly work as a comparison or even as hyperbole. 🫡🤷🏼♂️🤓

That’s a false equivalency, though, as the former didn’t include matching insurance— nevermind that it’s generally illegal, IIRC, to drive uninsured. 😅☝🏼

TBF, that’s about as “new” as 5G, though. Even earlier, if radio waves count as “wifi” in this regard. Ever since in-home transmitters were widely adopted, this has been not only possible but quietly deployed by various intel ops. I mean, FFS, even some fire depts use similar for S&R as it bypasses obscuration by smoke, etc. 😅🤓
