Sad, especially when Ryzen chips have dual 10G support in the silicon, but only enables in on some products in the name of product differentiation. Dual 10G cards are generally still pretty expensive, and motherboards with dual 10G are often several $100 more than the 1G version ... even when the 10G is supported by the CPU, like on the Xeon D series.
So basically people are still willing to pay more for 10G, and 2.5G is now the "free" upgrade. So my Comcast model, random Ryzen motherboard, and random SFF desktop all came with 2.5G. Sadly same on the Apple side, the Mac mini has an optional 10G, and you have to upgrade to the $$$$ Mac studio to get 10G by default.
