    I hate it. Switch Ethernet cables to USB-C style cables already.

    At least for home use it’s really not. The de-facto is still 1G Ethernet from 1999.

    10GBASE-T exists since almost two decades (2006) and is still expensive, and even the “affordable” NBase-T 2.5G stuff (2016) is only really cheap for the cards itself, most “router”/gateways have no or only a single 2.5G port and 2.5G switches are overpriced, unmanaged, and still in a “premium niche”.

    In contrast, you had Wifi6 APs for some while now that could do ~1.8Gb/s to clients and now with Wifi7 you can reach ludicrous wireless speeds of 5Gb/s+ to clients, but I’m doubtful switches or even 5/10G cards will get much cheaper because of this. It seems manufacturers don’t want to address the market of people having cabled infrastructure and instead everything is supposed to wireless with be wireless mesh-backbone now.
