The thing is you have two different kinds of commenters here.
You have people who live in places where coverage is so crappy that cell data is too unreliable and expensive to be useful. In those cases, what's the point of 5G? In many cases, a 3G connection would be enough if it was *reliable*
Then you have people who live in places where data is just *there* and not even thought about unless there is a problem... Which could be quite rarely.
Eg I pay £25 a month for unlimited minutes and texts with 20GB of data. I often find myself tethering my laptop to my phone because between the captive portal sign up shinanagens, and the crappy WiFi signal strength, not to mention inconsistent reliability when I'm just sat at a table... it's just more convenient to tether when I'm not at home.
There is a reason that many people's primary internet device is their phone.
