Such "videophiles" are to be expected, just like there are audiophiles who were buying SA-CD and DVD-A back in the day, and insist open 24 bit 192 KHz FLAC today.

Niche cases like that won't drive investment as massive as a 6G rollout would be. Faster wifi is a much smaller investment, since they just have to built it and hope customers come. I think they'll find that businesses stop upgrading after wifi 6/6E, since the addition of OFDMA and spatial reuse will pretty much eliminate contention issues in even very large deployments (maybe not something like a stadium, but that's a problem solved by mmwave 5G)
