It would actually be a difference from 1.8 to 3.5 (or 5 at 35mm), which I think (although I am certainly an amateur) would make a pretty big difference in mostly daytime indoor and outdoor photos. No?

f/5 compared to f/1.8 is 3 stops difference. Which means, for example:

You can have 1/60 instead of 1/8 at the same ISO

or for the same shutter speed, 200 ISO instead of 1600
