You don't use wifi cause you believe it gives you wifi cancer.
I don't use wifi cause a $6 ethernet cable gives me faster and more dependable internet.
We are definitely not the same.

    Latency and reliability I can see, but at this point the bandwidth has become pretty immense that I would have a hard time saturating it.

    I wired up my office, and when I speed tested it, the shitty Ethernet adapter in my USB-C dock was slightly slower than just using wifi.

    I had a similar experience moving into a new apartment that had ethernet sockets in all the walls. Took me a while to realize that the cables connecting the sockets up were oldschool Cat5 (100Mbps max) cable, so even though I was plugging Cat6a into the wall it didn't do a lick of good. Wi-Fi 6 on the other hand is giving me a little under 1Gbps.

    You can pretty reliably pull 1G with cat 5 over household distances (10m or so). More likely it's the equipment limiting the speed.
