The wired world was pretty bad at one point too. We had lossy wires, bad AD/DA converters, etc. Connecting to a BBS used to involve initializing hardware, manually dialing a number and then placing a receiver on a specialized piece of hardware.
I feel like we're just still in our technological infancy when it comes to high-bandwidth wireless devices. Many of them aren't robust and we haven't come up with good standards on how to approach things.
Give it a few more years. For now I'll just go with what works, which is usually wires.
