I believe businesses can create their own metapackages or have other
ways of providing system images.
Not having wifi connectivity is a critical bug for most people. Without
internet connectivity, it is really difficult to install the package you
need to get Wi-Fi working.
There are laptops without ethernet ports now.
Therefore, I'm closing this bug.

Title:
wpasupplicant is a required package for most desktop metapackages
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Many people and business not use or require wireless internet or WiFi
encryption on many types of machines. They may actively not want their
business or institutional environment to have access to WiFi at all
where manual hardware removal is too much effort. Requiring these
packages significantly increases the effort required to ensure their
desires are enforced. For hobbyists or students using wired ARM or x86
boards, such requirements increase the footprint on sometimes small
eMMC or SD storage devices.
