  Yes, and before that MU-MIMO is also an improvement to the problem. Still only 1 transmitter at a time, but multiple receivers.

  It is not even switched on in some early version of WiFi 7 router and receivers. As a general rule of thumb, the best version of WiFi x will only come with WiFi x+1. So for all the problems to be solved and ironed out on OFDMA it will be WiFi 8 then. And for all the promises of Ultra-High Reliability, it will have to be WIFI 9. WiFi is clearly moving more towards like 4G and 5G with every version. I just hope someday that it really is good enough where there are many people using it at the same time.
