Is that an inherent property of 5G? Or just a side-effect of it being predominantly deployed in high-bandwidth high-frequency settings with the consequent low range resulting from the high frequency?

The main benefits of 5g lie in dense urban deployments, but it can totally be deployed in huge rural cells too.
