Where 5G should excel (and LEO fail) is large gatherings like concerts and sporting events.

Communication with satellites requires end devices to have huge antennas. They can maybe be put into cars, but definitely not into phones. Satellites are useful, for those 5% of users that live in so remote areas that you'd have to do a ton of digging to give them fiber, but this myth that they will render 5G or LTE useless is repeated often but wrong.

Satellite phones for remote areas have been a thing for decades specialized uses.
