The problem isn't using Cat5E, specifically - as long as they run conduit pulling new cable isn't a big deal. It's the complete lack of planning and design around home networking, which is just as important to our daily lives in 2023 as plumbing and electrical is. When my aunt moved her custom sewing shop last October I put more effort into planning the network infrastructure for her modest storefront than homebuilders do for half a million dollar homes.
