Last time I looked is because the chipset makers haven't implemented LTE Direct. There were a handful of phones with LTE Direct that were oriented towards first responders.
5G also has a peer mode, and I'm trying to figure out if it can be implemented in userspace or has to be done in firmware.
My idea is that peer mode would be useful for replacing walkie-talkie or mesh messaging like Meshtastic since everyone has a phone. The range is supposed to be around a mile.
