The advent of 5Ghz and 5G significantly enhances this effect because it effectively provides mm-wave radar for this technology
5 GHz has a wavelength of 5.997 cm. You have to go above 25 GHz to hit millimeter wavelengths, which 5G technology is capable of but not widely in use at the moment at those wavelengths. WiMAX technology has been using those frequencies for more than a decade and is widely used by cellular providers, but nobody seemed to care about that the way they do 5G.
Check the high end 5G frequencies. Originally I thought they were back haul only. Nope.

Yes, the 5G high end frequencies are very high, but as I said, they are not really much in use yet. Most 5G is in a much lower frequency range at the moment. WiMAX, on the other hand, has been using up to 95 GHz for more than a decade now and at much, much higher power output because WiMAX is meant for direct distribution over a multi-square mile area as well as backhaul applications. WiMAX was used to provide 4G services in many areas for years too, but like I said no one seems to have been afraid of that technology.
Most
5G specification includes a variety of frequencies for back haul and end user devices. These frequencies include mm-wave.
