You may be right, I am not yet fortunate to have a fiber connection to the net. Infact I am currently limited to about 3Mbs up and my downspeed is throttled at 8Mbs on my LTE connection. I dont stream anything on my LAN side at 4K(or even own a 4K capable TV) So I suppose yes a family of 5 with an infuencer Mom and 3 hard gaming kids and a sports addicted dad on a Sunday afternoon might overload a cheap router but I bet anyone with hardware capable of capping out a WRT would probably already have a far more expensive top of the line router and would literally "Laugh" at a RPI and Switch based non wireless setup. But yes I could see a few good reasons for setting up one of these, if for just a learning experiment.
