Sufficient 5G saturation will likely result in induced demand. Skepticism is similar to being skeptical that anybody would ever need more than 64KB of memory. Right now, 5G saturation isn’t large enough for new applications to be developed that assume 5G, but once 5G is everywhere, we’ll look back on our pathetic tens of Megabits that we pay $40-80/mo as the Stone Age.
Things that more bandwidth provides: wireless home internet, cloud gaming, 4-8K streaming on multiple devices. Things that 5G provides: more efficient wireless connections which should, in theory, eventually get passed on to consumers.
Many of the 5G applications do exist currently, just in their early stages. Just like 5G penetration.
