While I agree that having for example ways to connect to the Bitcoin network via satellite is better than not having it and it certainly is useful to people in places like Iran, Egypt, Turkey etc. where the Internet access gets restricted by authorities at times of public upheaval...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it could be pretty easy to bypass those website/app bans. Wallet software website/playstore banned? Download it through F-droid, or download the source code and compile it yourself. Exchanges banned? Go with Bisq. I think if a certain country goes really strict against Bitcoin, the community will create solutions(or at least suggestions) for them.

How can you do all of these things without Internet access? I think that's the basic question.

That you can circumvent bans from Appstores/Exchanges etc. is not the issue; but complete lack of Internet access might be.
