The main issue with transmitting data across the airways is not eavesdropping but jammers and the source being shut down. Encryption takes care of the eves, but with a few radios, you can triangulate the source. Why waste time breaking the encryption key (and if your smart you'll use 2048 Bit Cyphers+) when you can simply walk over to the source and take it directly from the transmitter.
Other than transmission, the hard part is making these systems resilient to attack and failure and for most of them, they want to be fully anonymous.
Now the alternative to full on meshnets are darknets. Darknets are built on existing infrastructure but are designed for resilience, anonymity, and encryption. These exist in popular forms such TOR, I2P and others. Of course the downside to this is that it can be shut down if the physical wiring is removed.
