I'll speculate the following: 1) most people don't have coax running all over their homes (I'd bet more have cat5 than coax) 2) few people would saturate homeplug, ethernet, or wireless yet. Lossless audio doesn't get near saturating those bandwidths, and how many people are running multiple HD video streams around the home? 3) the equal-or-better bandwidth with newer homeplug 4) few coax products out there (likely because of #1, #2,& #3).
