I can imagine some use cases for faster ping between two low orbit satellites could be important but my imagination begins and ends at rocket guidance. I don’t see that ever being useful for 99.9% of networking. The signal has to go down to earth receiver at some point and atmosphere and dish overhead will always lose to a cable.
It’s a boring answer - but cable will remain undefeated until some magic breakthrough in physics comes along. It’s simply just that good.
