It's not more of a joke than developing 802.11g and 11a while 11b was the shortlived standard. The technology exists for very high wireless throughput.
The VHT standard, like the 11n standard, is aimed at throughput.
802.11a and 11g have a data rate of 54Mbps. The WLAN overhead in the IEEE standard reduces the actual useable throughput for associated clients to the range of 20-25Mbps.
Our October 2007 tests, by Craig Mathias, of several first-generation 11n access points aimed at the SMB market found a range of performance levels, most indeed under 100Mbps. But from what I can see, plenty of 11n products today have demonstrated throughput over, sometimes way over, 100Mbps.
