Yeah, higher gain is not always better. It may seem like it, but it's not always true. A high gain antenna in your cell phone to talk to cell phone towers would be an absolute disaster. Or a high gain in your GPS receiver would be an absolute disaster. In meshtastic, it's probably better to use a 3dbi rather than a 10dbi. Just because you can get signals from airplanes coming over sometimes, and you do not know where the signal is going to originate from.
