Technical specifics aside, the issue is also if not mostly one of implementer and user education. This is not a bullet item on the "10 simple steps to installing your WiFi thingy..." that comes in the box with an AP or client device.
As Tim and others indicate and are aware of, IF you can lock the AP to highest throughput setting and/or preclude low-speed connects, great. If you cannot, this is what you get - so those folks questioning sudden drops or inexplicable low speeds might want to consider that there are other users on a particular system and they can affect it. Possibly symptomatic of long-range/poor signal or mis-configured users.
Just another topic to add to my WiFi book. Granted this is not rocket science, but it's not as simple as crayon and a piece of scratch paper either, though we might wonder about the expectations some have at times.
