This is the difference between Fiber-to-the-Node and Fiber-to-the-Premises. FttN is already something that ISP's do without it being too newsworthy, but FttP is a much more expensive thing in general, because this last little bit of infrastructure is much more expensive per-customer than just running it to the Node and using existing cable or phone lines to reach your customer.
Google/Verizon's "fiber roll-out" was FttP, and what GP was talking about, and it's very understandable to abandon that approach to just FttN plus 5G.
