I never see videos of hear of people taking these things to the big trails. Do you ? I just got one and want to.

Honest question for experienced riders - how much of a real problem is losing cell signal on the trail?
Context: I'm coming from the overlanding world where staying connected is a big deal (long multi-day trips, remote locations, solo travel). I invested in a cellular booster for my truck (around $400) and it's been worth every penny for both safety and convenience.
Now getting into UTVs and trying to figure out if this is even a relevant concern, or if I'm bringing truck-camping mindset to a completely different activity.
Specifically:
In your experience, is cell coverage while riding a "nice to have" or a "need to have"? Do you actively try to maintain connectivity, or is "going off-grid" part of the appeal? For those who've spent money on connectivity solutions, what did you end up with and was it worth it? I'm seeing some cellular boosters marketed for vehicles in that price range, but almost zero discussion in UTV forums. Either it's not a real problem for most riders, or there's something about UTVs that makes traditional boosters impractical.
For those who ride in legitimately remote areas - what's your actual setup? Just curious if I'm overthinking this or if there's a real gap here.
