The RF noise generated by these technologies is quite bad, it's in a
band where noise can propogate worldwide via the ionosphere. It can
prevent receivers locking to, or demodulating a signal.

Also, it's very easy to demodulate the Ethernet traffic radiated from
your house wiring from one of these systems - it's not very secure!

Because it's easier than flood wiring the whole house.

Usually one wire, singular. With HomePlug I can have ethernet wherever
there is a power point, and I do move them around now and then.
HomePlug is not just
pointless, it is expensive and is to radio hams as light pollution is to
astronomers.
I must say I'd never heard of the radio interference at all.
