Yeah but my point is why can’t it do the same as Wi-Fi (since technically coax is just radio anyway) and dynamically allocate bandwidth for upload or download depending on usage?

technically possible, would require a ton of upgrades to the infrastructure to support such a thing, and probably just not worth the investment for these companies right now.
