Why do people stick with a residential proxy service for long-term use?

I keep seeing people move to residential proxy services for long-term work, but I’m not sure what actually changes in real usage compared to basic setups.

At first I thought it was mostly about technical specs, but the more I read real user feedback, the more it sounds like stability is the real reason.

When I tested different setups myself, I realized the difference becomes noticeable only after longer sessions. Short tasks don’t really show much, but when you run things repeatedly during the day, small issues start adding up. With a residential proxy service, I didn’t run into constant interruptions or sudden changes in behavior, which used to happen with cheaper options. It didn’t feel like a “big upgrade moment”, more like everything just became quieter and more predictable in the background, which actually matters more in daily use than raw performance.
