Someone on my town Facebook page complaining about not having any options for internet (Comcast only in our town) and someone chimes in not to worry because wired internet is dead and everyone should just 4G through T-Mobile SMH

Wireless will never be able to offer the infinitely-expandable throughput of copper/fiber.
When I run out of bandwidth capacity, I can lay more fiber or copper. The same cannot be said for the EM spectrum that wireless technologies use.
Wireless is a great CONVENIENCE technology that is only properly paired with copper/fiber backhaul.
It’s just physics folks.
On the other hand, many people seem to be pretty happy watching videos on their phones via cellular, and don’t seem to care that there are fundamental physical limitations that mean they’ll never be able to simultaneously watch 1000 videos at the same time on their phones.
In any case, what the OP is talking about is pairing wireless with copper/fiber backhaul. He’s just saying that, in addition to the wireless between your phone and your home’s Wi-Fi access point, with copper/fiber the rest of the way, many newer homes will also have wireless between that Wi-Fi access point and the ISP’s cellular tower, from which the signal will travel via copper/fiber.
