When does `prefetch={false}` on `<Link>` make sense?

✓Correct answer: For long lists of rarely-clicked links (e.g. footer or table rows) to avoid many prefetch requests
2Always, to save bandwidth
3For links to the current page

Without prefetching, the route loads on click (hover may still help with a custom handler). useLinkStatus can show pending state for such links.
