Additionally, 5G is closer to wifi than anything else. They're putting a lot more access points with shorter range around closer to homes. And it does become congested during high traffic times.
That's an ideal example of the limitation. A single tower with a wide range can't handle the same volume of devices in the area. So by using 5G it's just closer and closer to home, with fewer people using it at each point.
No question that it solves the last mile problem for these companies though. It's a lot easier to run fiber to an access point at the edge of your neighborhood than it is to run it to every house in that neighborhood.
