10 Gbps can give you some advantage when downloading big games from a network that can support it on high end hardware.
Games are competing for "who can eat the most storage", it seems, and at 231 GB for CoD:MW (https://gamerant.com/pc-games-file-size-hd-space-biggest-huge/ https://gamerant.com/pc-games-file-size-hd-space-biggest-hug...), you'll wait over half an hour before you can play with "only" a 1 Gbit connection.
The bigger the game, the bigger the incentive to just re-download when needed if you can do it fast, since your storage is limited.
The 10 -> 25 Gbps step is definitely just bragging rights, which I'd call well deserved given the lengths you have to go to to actually reach those speeds.
