The primary gain of 5G is the ability to have way more devices attached to a single tower at a time. This ultimately translates to higher data caps, and why telecos were so exuberant about it (but didn't actually explain it this way). They knew people's number 1 gripe was data caps. 4G was fast too, but couldn't handle lots of concurrent connections, necessitating the need to artificially constrain demand (data caps).
