Why would you need to play music at home while you're going to a store?
Also, activating Bluetooth is as frictionless as activating WiFi.

Not in my experience. Bluetooth is functional, but it's hard to call it better.
* Connecting 2 people (phones) to one device is hardly supported.
* Those 2 people can't really manage a single playlist without special effort.
* Auto connecting to a bluetooth speaker when I walk in the house doesn't happen. It does with wifi.
* Connecting to the bluetooth speaker typically kicks off any other connection
* The issue of walking too far from the bluetooth speaker with the playing device still exists.
* Ever run the microwave while streaming audio over bluetooth? It doesn't work.
In my experience, bluetooth is better at one thing: streaming whatever audio from whatever app I want.
Sonos allows my wife and I to simply play whatever music we want, wherever we want, with no hassle. And it sounds great.
Oh my, no. Activating bluetooth is so frustrating that Apple built a special chip to make it easier. That Sonos work over Wifi and not Bluetooth is the primary selling point.
