cuz if they want to convert copper lines to fiber optic lines, they'd have to do it everywhere else, or it'll be a waste of money and resources

some new buildings have it but in the end the speeds are still more or less the same as normal broadband due to everywhere else using the normal lines.

This doesn't make sense to me.

If my building is connected with fibre, what does it matter how the building next door is connected? It's not like the lines are all daisy-chained.

Sure, if you "find" a spool of fibre in the back lot behind the TM building, you could sell that.

But if you try to pull already-laid fibre out of the ground in the middle of the night without expensive equipment, you will ruin it and it will be worth nothing.

With copper, on the other hand, it doesn't matter if you damage or break it. Just melt it down and sell it by the kilo.
