I think 5G can definitely help here, assuming it provides faster and more reliable connection.

It used to be unthinkable before 4G for people to watch videos everywhere on their mobile phones.

Most providers softcap at 50 to 100 gb .

At best I'd get 10 hours of gaming here.

Don't get me wrong, I want this to succeed. I want to be able to play COD or Halo from anywhere with a 5g connection. But with such high data usage it's DOA

Given the mobile connectivity history, I am pretty optimistic the cap is going to increase. It’s not that long ago that I had a few mega bytes per month.

At best you don't use high quality 1080p on a bus. That's 3.5x the max bitrate twitch uses.
