Running new lines takes time sure, but it is very easy to dedicate more of the line to data over tv channels which take immense data.
With DOCSIS 3.1 they can multiplex but more should be used for data over television and capacity is easily added.
Hard wired broadband is just milking it until 5G and by the time we get to 6G will be dead like phone lines so wirelessly adding capacity will be easier.
My guess is ISPs are just not wasting time running lines, especially the ones that will push people to 5G and future specs when those are out.
