I didn't think many computers had more than a gigabit Ethernet port.  I built my main desktop PC in 2019, which I don't think is that long ago, and I'm using the ethernet on the motherboard, which is 1.0 gigabit.  I suppose there are probably PCI Express 2.5GBe cards I could buy, and I guess after 5 years, it may be more common to have faster than 1.0 gigabit Ethernet on a motherboard.
