To me it's like have an HDTV without HDMI ports. yes technically can get by, but why would you NOT have them?

You are mixing things up here. Kindle, B&N and Kobo are US companies working with US shops. Sony is global. They have a wireless model and an online shop to serve the US customers that won't do without wireless. The rest of the world is not the least bit keen on it. Sony did some reasearch before they released their models and decided to cater to their costumers needs globally. In an interview the president of Sony said their costumers in Italy, Spain, China and so on are not interested in wireless.
It does not make sense anyway, which shop should I buy from in Germany to get a German ebook, which would someone else got to to get an Italia or Asawi a Swedish and Fortissimo in Nigera a book?
It is a common thing for anyone on this board to forget that 6 billion people live in this world, only 300 million of them are Americans, nonetheless it is pretty much annoying. Please stop thinking everybody should live by your needs.
