Isn't this just "Now you can pay to purchase and operate hardware to compensate for our crappy coverage, so we don't have to improve it ourselves?"

My question would be why you'd ever use this instead of Wi-Fi? The range of these wouldn't be much better than a proper Wi-Fi access point anyway.

Wi-Fi supports EAP-AKA which uses the SIM card and carrier's cooperation to seamlessly authenticate clients, so credential management is also solved.

For one thing they have access to spectrum that isn't already saturated.
They already sell 5g stations to use in your home when they don't have coverage.
I dont know if I want to be so close to a 5G transmitter after reading this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34778597/
Hahaha I googled the first author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96D-vi59Czs&t=190
It turns out that the barriers to publication on pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov are very low.
