This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Some of these countries can’t afford infrastructure at all. Even if your opinion is correct, do you think they’d prefer having no infrastructure vs having some that needs maintenance? And let’s not hold their investment to Western European standards, that’s ridiculous to compare countries possibly climbing out of a century or more of problems both internal and external to what wealthy Europeans have.
Hmmm...Dirt road you can keep up at a reasonable level but drive slow vs pothole street.
Economic boom vs slow growth.
Life has many facettes. No single answer to them all.
