The Western world? Hard to say

Because streaming wirelessly is better --- more choices, less equipment, and less expensive. For example, my T-Mobile Internet is only one free device that only gets warm. For cable, I have to buy my own router and modem, and my cable company provides me with a cable box. All of which get hot when in use. (More electricity.) With streaming, I can get YouTube TV for $65/month. Cable TV cost about $200/month. (Sling only cost $35/month. Antenna is no monthly charge.) YouTube TV has more channels than cable. Cable TV has cables going from the wall to the cable box, and to the modem and router. T-Mobile Internet has none. I hate to tell you this but the internet uses a stack of wires. The last 10 feet may be wireless, but the 5000 miles before that is all wired. If you have one of those devices that uses a telco network for an internet connection, you won't get very far with high definition stuff. Even using a wireless modem for the last 10 feet is useless for high def. I think the copper cable lines are being phased out for fiber. I can see the old cable provider platforms like Comcast going under in favor of all streaming.

Yes, there's been loads of work here over the last few years doing exactly that, including replacing the wire inside the house all the way to the socket box thing on the wall.

Not in the States, there is too much wiring already in place so cable will be around a while yet. And the US is big, we drive a lot, the infrastructure doesn't exist to replace fuel burning cars and won't for decades.
