> How come today, for home use, WiFi seems to exceed the price/performance of hard-wired? Is the Ethernet standard lagging, or lack of interest/demand, or some more physical barrier?

10-gige is already cheap and 40-gige is coming down in price. There is just no need for it at home. I have my house wired with 10gige, and > gigabit fiber internet, and literally can’t notice when switching to wireless. 500 mbps should be enough for anyone.
