they might be, but would they make the effort to buy one if it wasnt included, im betting not, on top of that, Sonys problem of late has been cost, and an easy way to shave cost is to cut wifi out, that could easily change into a 50 dollar price drop, and might give them profit off each unit. on top of that it would have been better for the user to remove wifi, and not remove backwards compatibility. I assume the backwards compatibility was stripped because not only was it a way to cut costs, but keep people buying ps2s where they are making money. I assume this because backwards compatibility was a core philosophy of the playstation brand, wifi was not, so to kill backwards compatibility over wifi must have other benefits.

Wifi is another way for PS3 owners to connect to PSN, hence gain access to the PS Store and spend money :S. I can easily spin things and use this argument. There for:
Shaving BC -
Pro
Increase PS2 sales
Cut PS3 production costs
Con
Some Unhappy ps2 game owners
Keeping WiFi -
Pro
Another way to access PSN for consumers
SONY makes money from PS Store Purchases
Con
Production cost that could be cut
