I mean, who the hell has a Cat-5e drop behind their fridge, though?

I imagine a product manager took exactly 100ms to calculate that the answer to that question is "functionally no one" and so there went the $X ethernet connector from the build, for patently obvious reasons.

Hell, I'd love to know Sonos's ethernet adoption rate, since they certainly have that data. I'd bet it's fairly high since Sonos is a bit up-market and sometimes professionally installed, or installed by enthusiasts, but I'm willing to guess it's < 5%, and realistically, < 1%, even if we only obviously limit the sample size to "Sonos devices that are eth capable."
