Faster than ever: Wi-Fi 7 standard arrives::How fast do you want your Wi-Fi to go? How does 5.8 Gigabits per second sound? Fast enough for you?

While I think most agree with you, it’s important to note there is more to networking than WAN access. Streaming 4k in your home network over WiFi sounds pretty awesome for security cameras and other self-hosted medias.
Who needs 4k security camera footage streaming in their own home?
The media center is far more relevant here, but again, current speeds are pretty adequate for the majority of people.
For now
People who think the cameras will stop people from breaking in and stealing their shit, or the ones that think cops will somehow catch the bad guy and get their stuff back because they had a camera.
Cameras are for insurance
You forget the ones who want the cops to pay for the broken door.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
The thing you need is just a box that looks like it could be a camera. The most you can expect is that it is a minor deterrent and the footage will basically do nothing for you, so just pretend.
Mostly I end up just using one to see at a glance if, say, my wife is home (car is in the driveway) or to check out if that possum came back again last night.
But I can already do 4k streaming over my 5g wifi
Sure, though in my world none of my networking needs exceed the capabilities provided by the current WiFi generation, thus it remains unchanged. Nor will I see any benefit from it unless I conduct a thorough review and replacement of all impacted devices in my world to also accommodate WiFi 7, which I will not be doing.
I already have Ethernet runs.
As your ANAL Attorney, I advise you to take less Psyllium Fiber Optic Husk to prevent further Ethernet runs.
With the number of people renting on the rise due to house prices in many countries around the world, running cables isn’t an option for everyone (and even when it is, not everyone wants to actually do it).
Having more options available for people to move large amounts of data around their home is never a bad thing.
