Fibre would be more expensive
Fibre would offer more future proofing
Fibre offers virtually unlimited capacity but using it all gets exceedingly expensive - to the point it's much much cheaper to run multiple fibres than to shove more carriers onto one fibre once you go above a certain amount. It also requires more expensive active equipment.
The main advantage of coax is it's easy to manipulate - extending, shortening, splitting, etc. can all be done with a couple of $15 hand tools. Splicing fibre is something you need a dedicated technician to do with a few hundred $'s worth of equipment.

I wonder how many areas already have fibre from node to cab then and how many of those have individualised coax from cab to premises?

None?
