Reliability, stability and low latency is quite important for a few use cases (including gaming and video/audio calling).
A extra few milliseconds in internet delay has a dramatic impact on video/audio calling and gaming. You know how awkward it is if you've been a call where there is an even small delay in audio or video.
Completely agree with what you've written above.

Unfortunately there are a number of people convinced that wireless is naturally better than wired. Wires are old tech, it's awkward and should be discontinued. Wireless is the future. They can't be swayed even when provided a highly detailed technical rundown on how the wireless (sat, cellular, and Wi-Fi) operates, and why that's not the case.
