We don't need cars. Everyone has a horse already.

Electric light? No thank you - I have all these candles already.

Progress doesn't stop because we think a problem is solved.

I'd dial it back a notch to reality. This is a small iterative step, not a revolution. Or to put it in your terms -

Most people don't need sports cars if they already have regular cars

Most people don't need smart lights if they have regular lights.

Its progress, that doesn't mean we all need to buy it right now.

This is not "cars versus horses", this is "fast cars versus slightly less fast cars".

All of your examples have the new thing showing an obvious benefit over the old thing. Tell me, if I upgraded every device I own to Wi-Fi 7 - or any, for that matter - what benefit would I get exactly?
