Why couldn't they come up with something like it for the last mile?

They currently exist, but require line-of-sight to transmitter because of the frequencies involved. For conventional VHF and UHF as you describe, every user would presumably need their own frequency (and of course their own transmitter as well as receiver) - I think there simply isn't room in the available spectrum. Hence schemes like Wi-Max, that share the available bandwidth.
