I have about a 300 Mbps connection with my ISP. The gateway/AP provided by the ISP is located on the second floor of the house. On the first floor, the connection is degraded to the point streaming will occasionally stutter.
On the second floor the difference in speed tests going through cable vs 10 ft. away through one thin wall on my gaming pc is 250 Mbps -> 24 Mbps. There can absolutely be a practical difference in daily use.
Most people do not have multiple APs, most people are not getting APs other than what is provided by the ISP.
