Other than phones and laptops (i.e. "real computers"), most devices only support 2.4, no? I can't recall the last time I set up a non-computer device that didn't say "make sure you're using a 2.4GHz network"...
(I imagine it's a much lower cost to only handle 2.4GHz?)
I was curious so checked my network. I've got 21 things on 2.4 and 16 things on 5.
The 16 are 4 computers (2 Macs, a Surface Pro 4, and an RPi 4), 3 mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch), 3 media devices (Fire TV, Nintendo Switch, and Kindle Oasis), one smart plug, a Brother printer, 3 smart speakers (Google Home Mini, two Echos), and an EV charger.
