The networking on the other Pis is attached via USB. It's a very easy and obvious thing to drop.

Yeah I guess.

Still, I for one would be more than willing to pay a few extra bucks for a stripped-down version of the Pi with wireless included.

Actually, all I'm looking for in this type of machine is Linux, Wi-Fi and GPIO, in a reasonably compact format. Maybe the Pi isn't a good fit, since it is more about "teaching computing" than "building your IoT stuff".

Exactly. If you need Ethernet, a USB-to-Ethernet adapter is $1.50 on AliExpress including free shipping from China.
