FIOS was too expensive to install for residential, other than densely populated areas.

3. FIOS was an experiment to begin with, and Verizon found out it was even more expensive to implement than they had planned. That's why there is no more planned build-out of FIOS services; it is only available in areas where it is already installed.

Even when I worked (now retired) for Verizon/Fairpoint (17 years), cost was controversial. My nephew was one of the crack FIOS installers, before going into phone company "management".
It was/is a good product, however.
