All of this stuff will end up obsolete and junked sooner or later since most people don't want to run cables anymore and just use wireless.
I hardwire everything I can. This applies to LAN, phone, speaker cables, etc. In fact, pre pandemic, when I did some work on the house I ran all new Cat 6A for networking and CAT 3 for my phone lines. So I am 10G ready if I ever make the leap. Plus I left empty conduit so if I really wanted to I could run fiber. Plus how are you going to get your APs powered without POE since they don't have PSU plugs anymore? LOL!
Honestly wireless has improved by leaps and bounds since the dark times of 802.11b but wire is still better IMHO. Must be the GenX in me...
