The rest of the internet doesn't care about that. Latency improvements are from your device to the cell tower only. So probably 5ms improvement.

Main source of latency is not the last mile in regards to mobile networks. So yes, the rest of the internet doesn't care, as those routes are not going to change just because you now have 5G.

It entails so much more than just latency improvements.
