Hong Kong is extremely small. Offering the service to both (and oversubscribing the hell out of 50G) is extremely simple, since a business might be anywhere including close to consumers, so you're building the infra regardless.
I don't think it makes sense for most people to pay for this, but in 1998 you would have said "we will never need more than aDSL for the consumer" yet here we are with 1G/ 5G links to the home that are getting actually saturated.
