Deprioritization can depend on your area. I have an always deprioritized plan (not with Verizon) and I don't notice anything. Maybe it seems slower sometimes? When I compare speed tests between myself and my partner who has premium data on the same network, it doesn't seem any different. Deprioritization can really vary.
Verizon's network has the worst consistency when it comes to delivering more than 5Mbps. That should change in 2022 when Verizon gets new spectrum, but in the meantime they have the most customers and the least spectrum.
22GB is a lot of data, but people are using more and more. T-Mobile recently increased its deprioritization limit to 100GB on their main plan and 50GB on their Essentials plan (and now offers unlimited premium data on their more expensive Magenta MAX). I think more people have started to use more data as video-based social media becomes bigger and bigger.
