The USB cable provides high speed data transfers. Why would you want to use a WIFI connection?

I like to take photos cable-free .. and check them right away on PC.. In house or in field..

Cable connection by definition is yesterday .. there will be no USB ports in future.

I and most sincerely doubt that the USB port is going the way of the floppy. It is and will be a staple on computers for many years to come.

Ports aren't going anywhere any time soon.  They're necessary for times when the wifi space is too cluttered for strong, consistent connections between devices. Console gaming leagues use wired controllers and headsets, as well as ethernet, during lan tournaments for this very reason.

Of course, this doesn't mean having the feature shouldn't be an option. In many/most cases there wouldn't be a problem maintaining a wireless connection between the camera and pc. The cable is always going to be a necessary backup though.
