The point of the law here is exactly to prevent things which are technically possible, but socially frowned upon. A law against something that isn't possible doesn't do anything. (Should this be illegal? Maybe not! But your point seems very silly.)
If you're using your voice to communicate with your girlfriend in your own apartment, can you be upset if somebody's got their ear pressed up against your door, listening in? I mean, you knew that was technically possible to do. Why would you expect privacy?

Yeah, but using WiFi or similar is more like shouting with wide open windows. In which case one should not expect privacy.
