5G seems to be very good for high-density situations, so it makes sense the Chinese would invest heavily into it while the US wouldn't be nearly as interested. Sometimes people just have different needs.
Here in Europe (Czech Republic), 4G is mostly everywhere and 5G is available in major cities. The telcos sell a special "5G unlimited" tariff which gives you unlimited data and unlimited speed when you're connected to 5G and 10Mb/s on 4G + unlimited voice and SMS (costs cca $50).

But if too many people are happy with 4G, it may be difficult to establish new infrastructure. I have 4G and very rarely use it. Most of the time on holidays. For IoT it just seems like a cost factor without too much benefit. I doubt our customers would even appreciate it if our devices don't use local nets to phone home.
