videomatic3 Most modern houses have ethernet everywhere.
Most people don’t live in a house that was built when Ethernet installation in homes was common, that’s a fairly recent thing.
My parents had a new house built in 2021, and even then Ethernet wasn’t installed by default. You had to tell the builder what ports you wanted (telephone, coax, or Ethernet) in each room (if any), and where you wanted them.
The neighbors who weren’t tech savvy probably said “Why would I need any? I’ll just use Wi-Fi” and didn’t get anything, because when I’ve been inside the neighbors homes, they’re all just using Wi-Fi from their rented Comcast XB7 and I don’t see Ethernet in any of the rooms.
My parents originally weren’t going to get anything, but I convinced them to get Ethernet in each room. Now they have great Wi-Fi since I set them up with multiple APs around the house with wired backhaul.
It also future-proofs the home and makes it more attractive to whoever buys it 20+ years from now.

That’s fine. I don’t see 10Gb+ being necessary in homes in the foreseeable future.
Cat6 is limited to 10Gb anyway, so anything faster likely won’t work over copper Ethernet over long distances.
100 GbE only works over fiber, so eventually all of our copper Ethernet will become obsolete too.
Most people today still don’t even need 1Gb at home.
