In the US there are entire swaths of the country that rely on dialup; rural and very small towns. (Low population density.)
And no, not every internet service provider offers wi-fi cable modems. Which is why standalone router and powerline networking hardware is available all over and continually under development. There are hundreds of ISPs and they offer a wide range of products. If anything, WiFiRouter/modems are typically extra charge and given their limited range, it makes sense to go WiFi-less on the modem and run gigabit wireless around the house. Especially if you run a home media server.
