Construction projects, festivals, etc. Bad cellular reception is more likely to be an issue far from other infrastructure.

There are plenty of outdoor plastic enclosures, mostly RF-transparent, that are intended to hold network equipment.

There are brands specifically for those markets though. Complaining about Ubiquiti not making a product for that specific use case feels like complaining about a Honda Civic not being an offroad-capable Jeep.

If it’s fine if you want to build a golf cart, just don’t pretend it’s an ATV.

Put it in a wooden box with a generator outside of it and you are good to go.

That’s got its own set of issues, but more importantly would you call that working effortlessly?

I would think if you are doing projects that big, you would in fact want dedicated devices instead of all-in-ones.

Those are just categories. For every major project or festival there’s a long tail of tiny projects on a shoestring budget out there.

You are going to have to be more specific. I don't consider 5G to WiFi effortless period.

Unless you count hiring someone to do it for you.
