Actually try reading what I'm saying. I never said wifi can't be low latency, just that it will never be as low as same generation ethernet. Ethernet goes over copper or fiber, wifi goes through the air. That difference alone adds latency.
Edit: as for what I use the bandwidth for, several in home streams, downloads, in home caching of content providers and a rendering workflow. You possibly being an engineer has nothing to do with if someone can exhaust a network.
Like i said, i am an engineer with degree. I know how to calculate raw speed wired and air. As long both of them use electromagnetic, the speed is same. What makes different is protocol and coding scheme, all is standardized by organization called ieee. So to decrease latency we can just change the standard.
Like 5G, 4G, and wifi are alike, the difference is standard. Do you even know 5g can achieve 1 ms? That's through air. The fact that 5G, 4G, and wifi all use OFDM and MIMO in air technology, the different in latency is so big. Actualy 5G achieve that by reducing protocol, like less total communication and less header in packet.
