Why do we use higher frequency?

Increasing the frequencies will give everyone more “room” to transmit radiowaves . Increasing data rates, because having a higher carrier frequency also allows to widen the communication channel. Miniaturization (higher frequencies = lower wavelengths = smaller antennas and systems)
