I don't understand why Ethernet seems to be so neglected and out of date. Thunderbolt-3 can do 40Gbps, USB 3.1 can do 10gbps, heck even USB 3.0 is 5gbps and my thumbdrives slightly warm up but they aren't about to melt. Why are 10gbe adapters so ridiculously bulky and run so hot?
Why is it taking so long for 10gbe home routers and ~20 dollar 10gbe switches to appear on the market??
100BASE-T came out in 1995, and 1000BASE-T came out in 1998!
22 years without any consumer penetration??
Am I missing a physics problem here?
Why did we flatline at 1gbps?
