I share your distaste for 802.11. DECT also is lower power, longer range and even offers audio if you want it.
Bottom line, however, is that there is a huge installed base of 802.11. Every phone, home, and business already has it. You either stubbornly fight the tide, or you roll with it and use it to your advantage.

Both Comcast[1] and Nest[2] seem to be positioning themselves as providing that sort of gateway, if we're talking about normal consumers.
