By that logic we shouldn't upgrade internet infrastructure either.

  The implicit context of this argument is that space is limited and we can't indefinitely expand roads. We almost certainly can indefinitely lay more fiber. That said, the logic does apply to wireless spectrum, which is a limited resource. If we allocate enough spectrum that people can replace wired connections, there will definitely be significant and unsustainable demand for even more bands.

    With wireless, you can decrease the number of folks served per station to increase effective bandwidth in an area. And the idea you can’t build lanes to reduce traffic assumes there is always enough demand to fill up those lanes.
