Cheaper cabling, at least in theory, but I'm not sure ethernet (for data) is the right comparison.

IMHO, in the near future, data-intensive connections will move to wifi 6/7/etc, or to fiber. Copper will be for providing data and power. IMHO, it makes more sense to compare SPE to current PoE networks/devices, powered wifi devices, CAN bus, rs485/modbus, and other wired IoT and industrial networks.
