I guess, but my point is that for many people in rural and underserved locations, they won't notice any performance difference between fiber and a coaxial connection, for example.

Insisting that EVERYONE has to get fiber, even when that won't change their performance experience, only slows down the actual service of their needs.

This is like any sort of performance engineering problem; focusing on an area that is no where close to becoming the bottleneck is not an efficient use of resources.

As far as I know, the only way to get decent upload bandwidth is via fiber.
