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.

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.
