So my counterpoint on this is that in my last house I ran ethernet everywhere but really only needed 3 drops because everything started to use WiFi.

So when I moved into my current house I ran it to only 2 places where I was certain I wanted hardwired, and put WiFi APs at those drops to give good whole house coverage.

I agree honestly. I have a hard wire connection at 2 points in my home... Where my work desk is, and in the garage, which is at the complete opposite side of my house as my WiFi router. I have a could devices hardwired on the garage, including an AP, so now the entire property has WiFi. Everything else is WiFi anyway, so why bother running wire everywhere!?
