That because they just released improved 4G and called it 5G for marketing reasons. Then everyone else did it too.
Read an article once called the 4G lie, talked about marketing terms that you really can just make stuff up. They equated it to the car industry putting out a V6 and just calling it a V8.
I remember when 4G was rolling out, either t-mobile or AT&T were advertising 4G, when it was really 3G+.
Might have been both. I remember ATT at the time calling HSPA+ “4G” then calling the actual thing “4G LTE”

Yeah I remember too.
Now Comcast is trying to join the bandwagon by advertising their network as '10G'
