Because 5G, or even 4G LTE is still technically superior to even latest WiFi 802.11ax.

Only slightly. Most of the difference is telcos paying the $$$ to get their antennas up high with line of sight.

Well Not really. 5G / 4G are far better in noisy, complex multi user environment. You could get higher bandwidth from 4G / 5G then you could in best case WiFi scenario ( Line of Sight ) with equal spectrum.

802.11ax was basically moving some of the LTE tools over to WiFi ( OFDMA ) and completely failed. And pushing back some intended features to 802.11be.
