I've always put it down to FUD by cabling installation companies.  I had a
conversation with our building facilities people recently who'd been
advised by their cabling subcontractors that they needed to rip out the
"obsolete" cat5e from the office and run cat6a to the desktops.  They even
want to renew last year's cat6 in the computer room since 6a is the new
standard.

No technical justification, but I suspect the CEO of the cabling company
fancies a new yacht.
