Noooo! You guys are missing the big use case for WiFi 7: VR headsets
It's finally going to have the bandwidth to stream SteamVR to dual 4k-ish displays without hiccups in actually high definition (no noisy compression). Even if you have to dedicate a WiFi AP for the task it'll be vastly superior to the situation we have today which can suffer from significant lag spikes and poor quality.
I've done streaming VR with a dedicated Wifi 6 AP on my Quest 2 headset and the occasional lag spikes made games like Beat Saber unplayable (and I was only about 4-5 feet away from the AP).
