I think we can both agree that large scale inductive reactance is an industrial problem moreso than a residential one. And most larger industries will have the means to compensate for the loads, either through conductor oversizing, time shifting of loads, or even taking a feed directly from a substation.

You are right, while capacitance is the mathematical solution to inductive lag, it doesn't always work well in practice.
