It’s all about the size. You can’t use an optical microscope to look at details smaller than the wavelength of visible light. You need an electron microscope for that. Similarly, a wifi camera can’t see details smaller that the wavelength.
If you made a camera that can see in 100 MHz radio waves, you could probably see mountains, rivers and houses, but anything smaller than 3 m would be nothing but blur.
