10Gbps wont ever be consumer grade. There is nothing on the roadmap which suggest we could bring down the cost of 10Gbps Ethernet to say within 2x of 1Gbps Ethernet. 2.5/5Gbps have a much better chance, and it will require some market narrative to push for that. Such as WiFi 7 ( 802.11be ) getting 10Gbps wireless speed but stuck with only 1Gbps Port. It doesn't matter whether that is true in real world, but with enough Social Media push and marketing, we could push vendor to incorporate 2.5 and 5Gbps. Then we may have some chances of seeing 2.5/5Gbps replacing 1Gbps Ethernet.
