There's still finite bandwidth to the demarcation point, so it can still be saturated.
Regardless of topology, it's still an aggregate structure where each layer has less available bandwidth than the layer above, by necessity.
It still comes down to having adequate infrastructure to support the # of users downstream.

Simply untrue, unless you can give a technical reason why?
