Where that aggregate bandwidth is shared amongst large numbers of users, bandwidth per user can suffer dramatically. Low density areas may be fine, but cube farms are an issue especially when staff are doing data intensive or latency sensitive tasks. If you’re giving employees docking stations for their laptops, running ethernet to those docking stations is a no-brainer. Moving most of the traffic to wired connections frees up spectrum/bandwidth for situations that do need to be wireless.
