Cable will reach anywhere. There is not such a place that cable “will not reach”. Is there a profit incentive to serve you as a customer in a capitalist system? Maybe not. But cable will reach.
Not sure if you are in Europe, but in the US there are places where you could walk the width of Germany and see 100 houses. It does not serve to be technically correct here.
Also, how would that work with boats / other vehicles and places without infrastructures?
There are remote areas where cable won’t reach. For example, I need surveillance on a remote farm and I would love to get internet there.

Well, cable will not reach a warzone which is a rather pertinent use for a satellite communication system at present.

One broken cable can result in a city/town without internet. Speaking from experience.
Also satellites have other uses like GPS
You’d need signal boosters at regular intervals, which need power… so now you’re running multiple cables.
But you can’t run them too close together as the power will induce noise in the data cable.
And after a long distance even the power needs boosting.
And to protect the cables, you’d need to bury them or put them on poles. Separately.
At a certain point, cable becomes the expensive option…
