No one should trust you if you don't know that since .ac we have had beam forming and it got better in .ax
This router pictured is a ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro that has .ax

That can be an advantage. Some of the enterprise-level tech has trickled down to consumer WiFi in recent years, which includes browsing between multiple access points. With several access points with relatively weak signal, you get signal right where you need it without broadcasting up and down the street.

What do you plug that cable into??

I've been playing FPS exclusively on wireless for almost 15 years (802.11n 5ghz) and stability has been fine unless you set up your access point far away from your gaming PC for some reason.
Back then you had to get a pretty nice wireless router to do it, but it still worked fine.
Now days even relatively cheap routers will let you game just fine unless you set up far away from the AP and you're in a pro tournament. -

Not everyone is comfortable drilling walls and installing plates, stripping wires, etc. and CAT cables aren't like simple copper electrical wires.
And not everyone wants to have cables running along their floorboard and up their stairs

I mean, beam forming is a pretty common feature of these routers.

Patch panel if you're on the closet side. RJ45 Jack on the station side.

Shitty wireless lets you stream shitty 4K. Yay? Copper is still king for anything that's not a goddamn webrip.

If you arent sensitive to jitter, packet loss, etc., and the various ways games react to it, then im happy for you.
Personally, i and many others hate it. It only takes 1 rubber band moment in a shooter to ruin a round, it only takes 1 round to lose a match. Even if you aren't playing super sweaty, its not fun. Even my wife who only games casually noticed the difference between wireless vs wired in a few different shooters after i ran a wire to her new desk. And we do have a good setup overall.
