It is not even switched on in some early version of WiFi 7 router and receivers.
As a general rule of thumb, the best version of WiFi x will only come with WiFi x+1. So for all the problems to be solved and ironed out on OFDMA it will be WiFi 8 then. And for all the promises of Ultra-High Reliability, it will have to be WIFI 9.
WiFi is clearly moving more towards like 4G and 5G with every version. I just hope someday that it really is good enough where there are many people using it at the same time.

The multi access story is improving, though.

OFDMA was first used with Wifi 6:

Yes, and before that MU-MIMO is also an improvement to the problem. Still only 1 transmitter at a time, but multiple receivers.
