Because it's still not a great solution.

I've done a TON of work in this for reasons and can tell you that streaming over 2.4Ghz especially is an anti-pattern unless you're dealing with super low-quality streams and/or only dealing with 1-2 devices. Even 5Ghz can get froggy with traffic contention. Working against a 15fps 1080p stream on 5Ghz is actually how I test streams with poor health and unpredictable behavior. Throw streaming over TCP into the mix and oof.

Also throwing another network component into the mix may not work for most folks.

PS: Before someone yells at me for saying "TCP streaming" because "clearly UDP is the right tool for the job!": nope. TCP is the use-case.
