Yes, this is the chicken and egg logic we have been served for the last 25 years that we have spent locked at 1 gigabit. This is because commercial players still had money left to milk to 10GBe deployments and 25 years later it it becoming obsolete in these environment. So we can have the free upgrade to 10GBe as the commercial deployments switch to 25, 40 and 100 GBe.
The thing manufacturer want to avoid collectively is product line cannibalization. And that means making sure that 10GBe was not the port you find on every random computer.
Of course, with the cloudification of general purpose computing. Most people in their homes just need a browser and streaming desktop client. So there could be other forces at play at preventing high speed LAN proliferation.
Imagine if a company could just make a 100$ nvme drive you can connect into your home router and it “just working”. No cloud, no serves, no redirect. It opens the port, update IP dns client, update certificates, works everywhere.
