Wireless tech has improved greatly over the last 20 years. Speed, latency, bandwidth, stability…all generally excellent. 15 years ago I wouldn’t have wanted to use a wireless mouse or LAN connection. Now? NBD. They just work. Still have issues with poor signal in some areas, but mesh range boosters take care of that pretty easily.
I just tested my connection to my ISP on my wireless gaming computer, and I got:
2ms ping
0ms jitter
0% packet loss
With >500mbps down
And almost those same numbers from my phone in the next room.
So what do you consider the qualifications for “reliable” connect, if that doesn’t meet them?

Wireless peripheral devices, sure, but if I’m streaming 4K with HD sound then I still want copper.
Even shitty wireless will let you stream 4k. It only takes 50mbps. 802.11g came out in 2003 and can do 54mbps.
Shitty wireless lets you stream shitty 4K. Yay? Copper is still king for anything that’s not a goddamn webrip.
Wtf dude, that was the example you provided, and then you mocked it. Make up your mind.
If it was a shitty example, why did you use it?
What would be a good example of things people commonly want and have access to but that wireless cant do?
Get reliable connection ?

The fact that you don’t have to worry about Wifi suddenly getting weak for one
Lol wtf are you doing to your AP or PC that the signal suddenly “gets weak” 🤣
That’s not an actual thing people have to worry about
50mbps is a fuckterrible bitrate for 4k HDR video content.
You should be playing physical media anyway, though.
