This is a misconception. You're only thinking about high-band (aka mmWave) 5G. The media has largely focused on this because of the higher speeds and its low range which makes it easy to dunk on with clickbaity articles. But this isn't particularly common outside of sports stadiums or music venues, large train stations, airports (but note that the interference in the article is not in the mmWave spectrum), university campuses, etc.
5G has much better range than 4G at the low-band, and at the mid-band they're much faster at a similar distance. If you're in the US, the only carrier that's been rolling out low-band 5G at scale thus far is T-Mobile.
