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.

SUb 6 5G typically has comparable speeds to 4G LTE... at times its a bit faster but adds very little if anything in way of the experience of the user. Again, no idea what the consumer use case here was for just basic phone internet usage. One cannot do anything the other could not.
MM wave is supremely fast but you have to be very close to a tower and even then it's insanely spotty... again, what is the consumer use case here? Like you mentioned, the only realistic one is in an arena that hasmassive load usage from a lot of people... even in that scenario I have seen it work SO far very poorly and spotty. Case in point, a few airports I have been at, downtown centers and bballa arenas.
