Yeah, I'm going to have to call bs on folks saturating their 1G connections. As for needing to connect to 2.5 devices (APs as you mentioned), that just reinforces my point. It's a cash grab by vendors.
Why would someone run a USB adapter to their smart TV? You either get an ATV4K or Shield which both can be wired and do it right, or even if you're using the built in smart crap, either way the most you're going to need is 30Mbps for a 4K stream.
What service are you downloading files from at >1Gb speeds? Unless you're doing multithreaded dls - like torrents or newsgroups. Just keep your service at 1Gb and save yourself the cash altogether.
"I have a job that requires me to push multi-GB files to/from the cloud on a daily basis" people, you are the extreme minority, so no need to reply.
And for those with a legitimate need, why wouldn't you go straight to 10? 2.5 feels like a cash grab.
It's the "more faster youtubez and interwebz" effect.
That's like asking the use case of a processor that's 30% faster against one that is 100% faster but cost 3x as much.
Seriously though I know someone with a home office and a massive database on the server for tax prep data. Opening tax prep suites takes an actual 2 minutes of loading the database. I want to try 2.5G between the client and server to see if that helps... But that may not even be the bottleneck. There are managed 2.5 PoE switches where the price isn't so bad. I need PoE and VLANs to separate the security cams anyway.

I got a 6450 because I was able to replace the loud fan with a noctua one.

2.5 runs on CAT5 e. Cheaper. 2.5 NICs often built into gamer motherboards

I've been engineering enterprise networks since the days of broken ring and flashing eeproms, but that's beside the point. Broadcast domain count is completely irrelevant to bandwidth consumption.
My point wasn't that usb-c ethernet adapters are necessarily irrelevant, but rather that a 2.5 over a 1 in your TV use case is. I believe the highest UHD bitrate is 144Mbps. With HEVC you're looking at 100ish.
The fact that TV operating systems are crap and anyone watching 4k rips should be using a dedicated streamer aside... 802.11n wireless should be more than sufficient, and certainly a 1Gb usb-c adapter.
So, tell me again why you need 2.5 to your TV?

Not sure it's comparable because to get 10g over Ethernet you would have to buy expensive Sfp adapter.

My NAS supports 2.5gbps. The NIC built into my compuer supports 2.5gbps. Sure, I'd love faster, but if I went straight to 10gbps, I'd have to buy a new NIC, an upgrade card for my NAS (and remove the one I currently have in it for an SSD) in addition to buying a 10gbps-capable switch. Those costs would add up fast.
But 2.5gbps is meaningfully faster than 1gbps for my use case. I do a lot of photo editing. I generally keep current jobs on my local machine, with a backup running to another NAS. But older jobs are on the primary NAS, and when I need to access those files, the 2.5gbps connection is bearable; the 1gbps was a slog.
I occasionally do video editing. Again, I usually edit locally. Moving files back and forth to the NAS is 2.5x faster than it was on my old 1gbps connection. That's meaningful to me.
And I run nightly backups. Most of them would be quick either way. On occasion, I've been working with some very large files, though -- having the backup complete 2.5x faster is very helpful. It means there's less chance the backup will still be going when I next need my computer or NAS.
On very rare occasion, I've got an absolutely huge task to run -- like first backing up 16TB of videos and photos to the secondary NAS, or restoring from it in the event of a failure. That takes days on 2.5gbps. It would take more than twice as long on 1gbps.
I wouldn't call my uses typical, but they're not out of the realm of realistic for a user who has any need for big files. And lots of people run home businesses or do lots of freelance work with their home computers. They can certainly benefit from a 2.5x speed boost when working with files.
