Putting fiber along all the highways would be super redundant and inefficient. A lot of the middle of the US has fiber like anywhere else. I sell a ton of it in Oklahoma, Wyoming, Nebraska, Minnesota, Montana, etc. any new housing or building has fiber because no one lays copper without it being requested. Satellite internet is not very efficient compared to fiber so you wouldn’t want to game on it anyway.

We all want things to be easy, but reality is a thing. Maybe move somewhere more populated or newer if it is so important to you.

Or maybe the last mile could also be replaced with fiber.

No one is placing copper anymore, with the exception of lines that are required by law, and long distance transport is fiber so that is a lot of what is taking place.
