There’s only so much space in conduits, risers and ducts. At some point, scale would press this up against physical infrastructure realities depending on how far the active gear at the head end is from the subscriber.
A point made earlier was that typically in a campus environment, most every riser cupboard has access to power so you can easily build a regular Ethernet LAN with a switch on every floor/corridor/hub. Basically, everywhere that you'd put a GPON splitter.
And WDM gear if necessary...heck even passive CWDM if you have a riser space issue.
