We should ditch ethernet, coax, and copper completely for data transmission. Everything should be fiber cable. Fiber internet to the house, fiber throughout the house, etc.
Fiber throughout the house I think would be terrible simply because Ethernet cables get exposed to a lot of random stresses and a fiber cable would just snap. Of course this wouldn't matter that much if they were ubiquitous because they would be inexpensive simply by virtue of mass production, but even so it would be a pain in the ass to have to go down to your local 24-hour retail store to purchase a new fiber cable because you accidentally knocked over your Wi-Fi router.
Not to mention that for home uses, 10 gig ethernet, CAT6A is more than sufficient for all but the most niche needs and most people will never saturate a 10 gig cable under the best of circumstances.
Cat6 cable also has the admirable quality of being able to carry power as well as data.
Fibre... not so much.
