Noone is saying that, but there's very limited bandwith available in the air (especially in the 2.4GHz band). If you move datahungry devices like TVs, NAS, etc. off the air, you gain a lot of free spectrum for the phones and tablets.

Exactly, the gains from proper engineering are vastly greater than from buying expensive consumer routers, particularly when you consider reliability.
