A 2 part statement/question: I see these fancy new routers offering wifi 6,6e and 7 that support 10GB of speed per port ect… I don’t get how my 500mbs internet plan will be 50% faster (according to google) with a new router. Also I am unaware of any ISP providing 10GB of internet for standard consumers.

There are non internet speed related advantages. Network speed doesn’t only refer to internet usage.
For example, if you have multiple devices connected they will communicate to each other at those hyper speeds. A good example is local network streaming. If you have a server with movies on it or one just used for storage, other devices can pull from those at the high speeds.
If you wanted to stream a steam game from your gaming pc to a laptop or phone, you will use the higher speeds up to the theoretical maximum of those devices (depending what wifi type they support).
