I think one of the issues is that many people can't see outside of their own little world and don't realize that there's other people out there that NEED to use it instead of wanting to use it.
I can't tell you the number of people that I've talked that have no need for wireless in their homes, but still have it. People with a desktop machine sitting 5 feet from an AP with a USB dongle sticking out of the front. Damnit, just plug the CAT5 cable in.

It seems that a lot of people are buying broadband packages and get given a WiFi router, so they will naturally connect wirelessly to that rather than over ethernet. If they had to pay extra for the WiFi router then many might be happy with a wired connection. You could even put a tax on WiFi usage in urban areas.
