Which is super niche.
I love my UnRaid server and my local smart home and my PiHole and everything. But I'm one of two in my extended family and one of <10 in my extended friend group that even knows what the words you said mean. Most people don't care about those things. (or at least don't care / know enough to set them up)
Most people know 5G is bigger than 4G. Or 7>6 for WiFi. Unless they're streaming upload speed tends not to register.
Working from home is certainly not super-niche not for the past 4 years or so. Most of my WFH users that complain all the time are on cable ISPs. Reason being is because it's easy to saturate upload, between system backups and people trying to put large files on shares and whatnot. And when upload is fully saturated, that can negatively impact download -- especially when the VPN platform or users Internet connection doesn't support IPsec or DTLS (see one of my other comments in this page for technical reasoning).
Not to mention, if they're using a cable wifi gateway, the ISP can traffic shape them. I had the Comcast xfinity tower thing when I first switched, all my devices topped out at 10Mbps upload even if it was the only thing connected at the time. Swapped it for a surfboard and my own x86 router using openwrt and topped out at the max (at the time) 40 Mbps.
