networking

For the vast majority of users, particularly corporate users, anything over 1Gbps is unnecessary. A lot of people spend their entire working day in a web browser and/or a VDI client plus something like Teams Slack or Zoom. For those use-cases bandwidth is less important than latency and higher network speeds don't have a huge impact on latency.

I work at a university and we're probably going to go to 2.5Gbps for our next network refresh in a year or two. The initial driver for that are the next-gen APs but we expect the engineering and media departments to notice the difference. The other 90+% of users will be oblivious.
