5G also provides better spacial efficiency over LTE besides the spectral efficiency. So even without a forest of towers it'll provide better peak congestion performance than LTE. At the same time microcells/nanocells are more practical with 5G allowing companies to increase capacity in especially high traffic areas. For instance a couple high-band cells in popular public spaces. With LTE the only equivalent option was a lower power microcell that affected and was affected by nearby full sized cells. There's plenty of marketing dreck and hype around 5G but there's also a lot of good engineering and real capability improvements over previous cellular systems.
