The other maker of Checklist.video here :)
Yeah, definitely agreed with you that it's difficult if your house isn't wired for ethernet. I actually do let a long cable drift along my floor :P Having a strong upload speed is crucial to letting others be able to hear you without any lag - and that's one of the most important factors to having a great video conference. This is why we wanted to emphasize a wired connection, but we also provided the specific upload/download speeds that could get you the high quality call as well.

You can setup Ethernet through your power outlets with something like this

Yep, I mentioned those! They're great when they work, but it depends on how your house is wired.

For me: Powerline was better than wifi from the router, but worse then adding a mesh network. Running a cable would have been very expensive (under concrete + outside).
Because it's hard. Just going through the list in the article:
> Use a cable to connect to the Internet
Difficult if your house isn't wired for ethernet and the modem is in an inconvenient spot, or in a room which contradicts tip #4. Do you let a long cable drift along the floor?
Powerlines will work in some houses, but not others, and can occasionally introduce their own connectivity problems.
> Make sure your upload speed is >3 Mbps
And if your ISP doesn't offer that much upload bandwidth, well then I guess you're SOL.
