Depending on your carrier, you can't get 2G anymore anyway.  Some decommissioned it as far back as 2012.  2017 for several in the US.  Even 3G is being decommissioned by many in 2020.

5G also still has sub-6GHz frequencies.  It's not all 24 GHz and up.  Sprint are only offering it in 2.5 GHz in the US, for example. Most carriers around the world are currently only deployed at 3.5 GHz.

Sprint has terrible coverage even with sub-6GHz bands ... 

2G will still be needed for vending machines and other IoT devices, the new baseline might very well be LTE in the future ...
