Actually this is covered by IEEE 802.11bn, though it’s not actually finalized yet:
IEEE 802.11bn, dubbed Ultra High Reliability (UHR), is an upcoming IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standard. It is also designated Wi-Fi 8 by the Wi-Fi Alliance. As its designation suggests, 802.11bn aims to improve the reliability of wireless communications rather than primarily increasing data rates. The standard is projected to be finalized in September 2028.
I see about 150 wireless networks from my home the last time I scanned, and I don’t live in a high density area. The sheer volume of traffic makes it hard to be reliable. Wifi 6 and 7 brought some improvements (on paper; I still use AC) but evidently there’s room for improvement.

Wasn’t it reliable before? Maybe they ought to stop going for maximum throughput if they wanted reliable connections…
Ethernet cables still reign.
In my area, a good homeplug setup reigns over wifi for streaming.
