Because again the scope of encryption offered by wireless operators is different from TLS. It is like asking if encrypting your disks makes TLS pointless.
TLS encrypts traffic between your computer, and some resource on the internet.
WPA3 encrypts communication between your computer and the wireless access point, no further. The wireless provider's encryption will similarly only encrypt data between your device and the wireless provider's equipment.
They are not designed to do the same thing. Technically WPA3 and and other wireless networking encryption is not needed if you are using TLS, because the scope of encryption of TLS covers the data going to your wireless provider or the wireless access point, but not everything is TLS - and even TLS still leaks DNS in many cases. And even if it was not leaking DNS there are still things that would be better for others to not know when you are using TLS.
