Consider: the faster the packets go, the faster the channel gets free to let other TDMA stations talk. A big office with a lot of computers still experiences QoS losses over 6E when someone starts watching a 4K video. Get those bursts of video-buffer-filling done faster, and other traffic will stay smooth.

Oh absolutely! That's the main reason why every room needs an AP. A 20mbps 4K video only uses up 1% of the air time for wifi 6E. Any more than that will noticably increase p99 latency. A device outside the room could easily use 10x as much airtime for the same bitrate.
