What is logic behind not including a USB cable with a new printer

If you live in Sweden as your profile says, then I live in the same country as you.

I checked the first 10 printers that came up on a search on Elgiganten, sorted by customer ratings, and 9 of them, a.k.a. all except one, had Wi-Fi.
And only 4 of them included a USB cable.

So this is definitely something you should check before you purchase such a product, if there are alternate ways to use it.

I don't live in Sweden.. I would buy a wifi printer if I did :D I'll admit I regret not buying wifi, I see it's only 10 euro more, my previous one that I gave away didin't have and I was fine with it, I only use it like once a month and I have to plug the power cable each time anyway.
