Fact is: technology is only setup @ big events, I mean... really big ones, like WTTC or Word Cup. Table Tennis is a minor sport worldwide, nothing is done like in football or tennis or rugby, because there's no money enough to put technology assistance or VAR in other events.But I also genuinely belief that any electronic/optic/software related assistance should be welcomed.
This takes nothing away from the umpires it simply gives them another tool to work with.
And even in Football, in major countries, there's no VAR after the 2nd division most of the time (France Ligue 2, England's Championship League etc...) so it means that some pros playing in 3 or 4th division do not have access to VAR. And will never experience it during their career.
It's the same as with speed glue detection: many clubs in french 4th or 5th division do not have any devices, the rule must be enforced since 2008 though right ? So how's it going to be for boosters ? only for top pro leagues, big international events ? how can aspiring young talents or even semi-pro amateurs players can agree with a "made for the rich" rules ? why do you think most of them are still boostering and will still do for at least 1 or 2 decades more ? because they'll never "identify themselves" as being a part of that !
VAR, technology assistance is chimeric, it's a unicorn for 99% of referees/amateur players refereing, and it will be for decades like that. Don't ask it to be welcomed then, ask for REALISTIC ways of refereing instead.
