Because LEO is very, very far away and cell towers bounce the signal with powered repeaters to drastically increase the distance?
Satellite internet is trash and slow, because it is very far away.
You can have a signal boosted or connected directly via fiber to a main node via the towers.
Implementation of faster internet is and was always going to be the goal. On satellite I'd probably get 1-10 Mbps, if that. On 5G, you get around 100 Mbps. On 4G it's something like 40-50Mbps.
Fiber is near limitless, but not lossless due to the fact that you cannot make a material (currently) that light would not bleed out of eventually.
Which is why we have a lot of stops along the way and tend to bury fiber cables underground, aside from their fragility and susceptibility to harsh weather.
It's the same thing with cell towers. They take a signal and amplify it to the next towers or directly take that signal to a node with a fiber or copper connection. With satellite, you have absurdly low speed, nothing in between to carry the signal and most likely a lot of packet loss.
I understand we are on a forum that is about conspiracies and the theories that accompany them, but not everything is a valid conspiracy.
There is a demonstrable improvement in speed and quality over 4G (roughly twice as fast) just like 4G was better than 3G.
If you want to talk about 5G activating viruses or whatever, or causing problems because it wasn't researched enough / there are some shady dealings related to suppressing any potential problems with it, that's different.
But to ask why we need or would want 5G "bcuz we have satellites and stuff" is a gross misunderstanding of the internet, the necessary structure to deliver it wirelessly, and the necessary technological improvements to keep ahead of increasing data sizes.
