An interesting thought.

I don't think they left out WiFi in order to boost data plan revenue, but what do I know.

It seems more likely that they would have left out WiFi to reduce cost of the device, but allow the retailer to sell it at the same price, thereby increasing profit. Again; what do I know.

It seems like too important of a feature to leave out for casual reasons, which is why in principal, I agree that it was for a reason ... increased profit.
