Because everyone has a 4g or a 5g phone. 3G never had adequate coverage because the auction for spectrum ran out of control. The networks paid for frequencies they then didn’t have the money to exploit with actual network build-out.

3G has gone because nobody needs 3G. We do still need Freeview. Well ok, technically we don’t, we can get near-universal coverage with Freesat, but the politics of forcing every house to have a satellite dish are sticky.
