Streaming 20mb/s is more than sufficient for video. I don't transfer 60gb blurays daily so it doesn't matter to me.
No video streams out there uses over 100mbits so makes sense.
you wouldn't pull at gigabits/s bandwidth when casually watching netflix
Yup! bandwidth is a major issue.

isn't transmission bandwidth a bigger concern?
I think you're somewhat overestimating the amount of bandwidth used by those services. TO watch Netflix in 4k, you only need 15Mbps, zoom uses about half of that for a decent connection and will downgrade nicely.
Imagine the bandwidth required to stream a lan party :)
Constrains end user capabilities. Harder to live stream or heavily use something like Dropbox with under 5Mbps up.
there seem to be bandwidth issues with the streaming
