I think the prevalence of mesh systems is intended to remedy this. Instead of a single AP that can cover your entire house you can mesh two or three (or more) APs to get the coverage desired.

That's how I do it, except because I have all these AP's I just set them up near the devices that will use it and plug them all into the AP's and use the backhaul which is way more reliable. Phones and tablets are the only things that use the wifi and never really found an issue with speed or reliability since moving to mesh.

It's still better to have wired backhaul with multiple APs than a mesh, but it's definitely a decent option if you can't wire it for whatever reason.
