Why is speeds related to tech (like CPU, GPU, RAM speeds) are calculated in Hz? Why is it that we do not say how much data is processed in a given time. Like we do with wifi or network speeds?

Hz is in cycles/second, or things that happen per second. For example, monitor refresh rates are expressed in hertz as they are # of screen refreshes per second. As such, these speed are indeed the same type of measurement used with WiFi and network speeds (also expressed in things/second, where things is data)
