EVs are right now being sold in a similar fashion

Almost no one is on mmWave at any given time, as you mention. I am not sure even the UWB indicators on phones are truthful at all times. When your phone says 5G, especially if you're not in a city, it's Sub-6 LTE, which is fantastic. Gonzo is just a nut who doesn't know what he's talking about.
mmWave is quite useful in large public venues like stadiums if the backhaul can keep up. My office building has mmWave on the roof and the speeds are absurd.
