Why exactly is (private) cellular 5G apparently "better" than Wifi (at least for some use-cases)? Is it the frequencies used? The encoding? Something higher up in the stack (like authentication or better hand-offs or cell overlap)?
Licensing by the FCC as to the amount of power allowed, which makes it work for more people over a wider area than 802.11 wifi.
