Yes, it would appear that way looking at brand new off the shelf routers, even the really cheap ones. But does everybody have? I personally have not upgraded my router in years (6-7 years maybe? Can't remember). There is only two cable plugged in: internet and one stationary computer, everything else is wifi. I am still waiting for anybody to provide fiber optics to my curb - stuck with cable and their slow upload rates by design. I would upgrade in an instant if it means I can ditch that cable modem. Until then I will keep my router.

New tech starts expensive. Moore's law again. But anyway, I'm not advocating for lifi, just for the development of tech that may seem like far more performance than is needed at the moment.

Understood. To me lifi is a step backwards since it is not truly wireless, so not a replacement for wifi. You still have to hardwire the lamps.
