First off, fiber, let alone internet speeds over 500Mbps are not common place, even people in the same cities some parts have it some parts dont.
Average download speed in the USA as of Q1 of 2023 is only around 140Mbps... Most states dont even average over 500Mbps yet alone 1Gbps or even 2Gbps, lol.

Inexpensive is another lie unless your rich and the value of money means nothing to you last I checked $150 a month for a 2gig plan is not affordable for a lot of people that do have it.
Working on roll out of HFC for ISP's in the past and having network engineering experience, always amazes me how uninformed people are about internet in this country, making blanket statements like yours.
As for this router, it reviews very well, but its priced too high, its been under $200 previously on sale, so a pass for now.
Answered my own question. I'm sticking with the 88u. More memory plus faster processor.
Your fallacy is assuming there's a class of consumer who does enough homework to purchase a 10Gbps NAS (something that isn't as commonplace as you imply) but doesn't do enough homework to know it demands more than consumer grade hardware.
If you need 10Gbps, you're not aiming for consumer routers or Ethernet at all.
SFP+ is not only more affordable, it's ultimately more robust and scalable.

Ax88u pro has Merlin support while this does not.

In theory, you might get higher than 1Gbps via 6GHz if you're close enough with the right client device. Most devices will top out at 800Mbps or less via 5GHz.

Lol 2Gig fiber being common place, and inexpensive, its been awhile since I seen so many incorrect statements in one sentence
