For me the appeal is that I don't need to figure out how to run wires all over my house, or have them stapled to the walls or something. Wifi works well enough that I would never get to a net positive after considering the ethernet wrangling project inconvenience.
Wireless makes cleaning and vacuuming so much easier. Also means I can walk around while in calls. And it just works well enough that the times it doesn't are more than made up for the times it does work.
WiFi is fine for most consumers, it’s only really a problem if you have a big enough of a house to need multiple APs with wired backhaul, but the cabling isn’t there so you go with wireless backhaul / meshing. Wired backhaul always works better in my experience.
If my house were that big, I would seriously consider only having connectivity in half the house. But fortunately (?) that's a first world problem I don't have.
