You are smart. My house all Cat 8.

Uncladded transparent optical fibers which can hug the walls is probably the main advantage if you didn't already have built-in network wiring.
Retrofitting exising housing without having to hack walls and ceilings may be worthwhile. I can see this replacing wireless mesh APs, since I never liked the idea of having to share spectrum with the uplinks since there are not many official channels available even in 5 GHz. Worse, I can definitely observe multiple high-powered APs blasting 5 GHz SSIDs from my neighbors in my apartment complex, leaving me with even fewer clean channels to work with.

Now for the paranoid tin-foil set, this would mean you're leaking data since there is no cladding to prevent someone from eavesdropping
