I'm sure they could have included Wifi in the HTC Touch as well. HTC probably just looked at it from a practical standpoint: include EVDO Rev A support (eventually) and there will be no need for Wifi. In reality, the 1100 mAh battery already suffers with EVDO Rev 0, so Wifi would just cause too much of a power drain. Even the 1500 mAh battery in the HTC Mogul does not do too well with Wifi enabled (usually burns out my entire battery in 2 hours of Wifi browsing).
