What’s the difference between watching Netflix on mobile vs home internet? Why can’t a similar technology of radiowaves or satellite be used?

Primarily because of infrastructure. It expensive too install the fibre cables needed for high speed internet and if there’s only a handful of homes in a rural area then there’s little incentive for the provider to do so.
Broadband speed is also reliant on the distance it has to travel so in a rural area where houses are likely to be spread far apart and located a fair way away from the cabinets and telephone exchanges it is delivered from, it will typically be considerably slower than in urban areas.
