I agree with you; in fact, I prefer most things low-tech. Like my famous neighbour Buba says: the problem with unbreakable things is nobody knows how to fix them!
My desktop is wired, keyboard and mouse and printer. The internet to my desktop is wired. And timy TV in the living room all wired. Internet to other TVs and laptops are Wi-Fi. Satellite TV boxes are wired and Nintendo Switch is wired. (Controllers are not)
The only wireless transmitter / receivers in my home are my portable telephone which is not linked to the Internet, portable radios, central-heating thermostat and front door bell. (No television, "smart"-'speaker/microphone, etc.)
Everything else is wired, including my computer ancillaries.
Mr car has a wireless key and the reversing-camera. I fitted the latter, and its camera transmits the signal wirelessly but still needs a wired 12V supply.
