There's been an unfortunate trend of newly-built houses not running Ethernet cables. Here in Canada, at least. You can still run them yourself, but the average person probably isn't going to bother with it.

So if they can't be bothered, then I'd say it's not a big deal to them.

Hell, I couldn't be arsed to run a wire for my TV for months. And I've run miles of cable, and it was trivially easy for my TV, took about an hour.
