I understand it could make sense for 4G/5G telecom as transmit towers can be saturated etc if people download terabytes and terabytes every day. But for at home cable? having a cap makes no sense really...

It makes sense if you are a telecom company that refuses to upgrade infrastructure to handle more subscribers.

Exactly this. I work for an ISP that uses radio towers and we don't have over saturation cause we use proper data shaping during peak hours and backhauls that can handle the load. You know what we do if a tower gers over saturated? We cost balance for immediate releif then build another fucking tower to lighten the load.
