Doesn't it seem like you've got enough at some point? I've never heard of someone demanding larger water pipes to their house or bringing in more electrical lines for higher capacity. For me, I've not really needed more than 100Mbit symmetrical though 1G certainly seems nice.

I'm less certain that'll hold in a decade or so. Every once in a while, I need to pull down a big data set and it's nice to only wait tens of seconds instead instead of having enough time to go make a quick cup of coffee while I wait. I have friends that are content-creator adjacent and they routinely sling around massive amounts of footage for editing and other production reasons. Depending on the video, target audience/platform and a few other variables, waiting for the raw footage or even the final export to upload and become available for distribution can cost real money. E.G.: if the press embargo expires for $theHotNewTech at 11 AM and you're still waiting for footage to upload, your competitors will have a video ready to go and YouTube will show their video and not yours. Being "first" on that platform for certain events has a MASSIVE impact on how well the video "performs".
