I had this discussion with another friend yesterday, and for 99% I agree with you. He told me about one thing that stuck with me and why I do see some value in 5G networks.

He told me that 5G is able to handle more traffic (= more connections) per tower. So on some busy places like festivals or other places where there is a huge crowd 5G could help to let all those people access their internet. Of course you could make an argument of "why would all those people need access to the internet" but that isn't the point.

Other than the point above I don't see a value in consumer 5G either.

I do not have a source, so if this is wrong then my/his points becomes complete moot.

The million dollar question is how long it will be before huge crowds are safe again.

The expression should be upgraded to “trillion dollar question”!

For the US alone.
