Ask HN: Why is consumer ethernet so slow?

The state of the art in other technologies is extremely fast: 10 Gbps for Wifi 6/6e, 10 Gbps for 5g, 48 Gbps for HDMI 2.1 (not networking, but common). Meanwhile, consumer ethernet is still predominantly 1 Gbps. Why hasn't this changed over the past twenty years?
