Even ignoring the concept of adversaries, wireless mesh is difficult to scale. Throughput and range are inversely proportional. Environmental conditions can attenuate signal. Propagation of routes is tricky as the network grows. It makes sense for something like starlink where there is LOS and ownership. But for modern day bandwidth requirements wireless mesh doesn’t make sense. Useful for smaller deployments where the data payloads are small and the max hops is limited.
