Yes, thats clearly a common setup requirement for the majority of people on freeview who don’t have more than 10 Mbps broadband.
There are always edge cases, they are rarely helpful in understanding problems like this as the cost to support them far out weighs the number of people it helps. I would suspect if you means tested this group most would fall outside of qualifying for assistance anyway.
I used to run 3 4k streams plus social media use for 4 adults on what was often 65mbps. You only need a reliable about 5 Mbps for a HD stream for iPlayer, the 10 Mbps more than covers this for the majority of people in this situtation.
